Junkyards in the desert

So I'm looking for a body for a pickup I want to restore, but thanks to living up in the north, pretty much every example I can find up here has rust in exactly the same places, and the thought occurred to me that I might have better luck in the desert. I was wondering if anyone who lives in the Southwest might happen to know of any junkyards that might have what I'm looking for, and hopefully won't charge me enough to make ordering reproductions seem more viable.

I mean usually, you find bodies in the desert itself rather than the junk yard.

but seriously, I imagine most have been picked over, but Nevada does have a lot of bone yards, and the dry heat could help. Although often old wrecks are used for target practice, so they may not be usable either.
