Everybody loves Sanford and Son, right?
It’s a hilarious comedy about a junk dealer, his son and their exploits, and they often conquer a social issue or two along the way.
A lot of things have changed since the 70s, including the concept of a “junk yard.”
You won’t find too many bathtubs and coffins mixed in with truck differentials and transmissions these days.
Too, the term “junk yard” has become outdated.
Today you’ll find “salvage yards” and the haphazard organization of the Sanfords have been replaced by electronic catalogs that rival most libraries.
In an effort to combat an economic crunch, an increasing number of drivers, owners and operators have turned to salvage yards in search of replacement parts.
