Join me as we take a trip down memory lane to explore the iconic truck from the classic TV show Sanford and Son. The show, which aired from 1972 to 1978, was a staple of American television and starred Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford, the lovable but cantankerous junk dealer. The truck, a central part of the show's premise, was more than just a prop - it was a character in its own right. But what happened to the truck after the show ended? Was it sold, restored, or did it meet a more unfortunate fate? In this video, I'll delve into the history of the truck and uncover what became of this beloved piece of TV history. From its origins to its current whereabouts, we'll take a closer look at the story behind the Sanford and Son truck.

I am really surprise no museum have picked this pickup truck to be displayed as part of TV show history. Or better yet, Lamont or Fred could have bought it and park in their garage as a show piece. As of now it seem to be owned by BlueLine Classic in North Royalton, Ohio which restored collectible antique.
