A couple of ideas come to mind.
A little red wagon.
A hand truck with bungies
If your pick a part gets muddy, I think a backpack would probably be best.

Since our (at least used to), have wheelbarrows, I saw one group that painted theirs some ugly *** color, then bolted a box to the handles, and took their own.

Our yard provides a wheelbarrow. I use a HF handtruck with a 5 gallon bucket bungeed. If you are going to make a wheelbarrow put 2 wheels on it. It's easier to move.

I would go with a cheap hand truck and some bungees, that way you can use it for other stuff and not just the pull and pay. I guess that all depends on how much time you spend in the junkyard.

I use the HF hand truck with the big knobby wheels and just bungie the toolbox to it so it does not slip off. I also have several spare bungies on it and a couple of 1" tie dows to strap anything to the cart that I find

I always use an air tire hand truck and bungees & small ratcheting tiedowns. and of course a large old metal milk crate on the bottom to hold your tools. And parts.
Depending on the size of the junkyard and if you have hills, you'll be wore out pulling a big wagon with air tires.
BUt sometimes I take the air tire wagon and fill the tires pretty hard if I know what I'm after is BIG and it's still there..
Around here we have some u-pull it yards that rent wagons & handtrucks.
Seems kind of silly to pay for a hard tire handtruck that pulls as hard as dragging a hood on rocks.. And their wagons srtink , too.
Other places will hual your parts up for free.... so All i need is tools and a way to carry small parts a couple of miles...

I have a red wagon with tall pneumatic tires. It started as a red wagon with tall, thin hard rubber tires. That's when I learned a couple things: Those tires don't go through gravel or sand worth a tinker's damn, and they provide absolutely zero shock absorbing ability, so every little bump makes your tools and tool box rattle. That doesn't seem like a big deal, until the walk through the yard starts sounding like someone thru all your tools in the clothes drier.
they aren't cheap, but they fit neatly in a trunk, and haul a lot of weight.

Some kind of strong frame, two nice fat tires, and plenty of bungie etc to fasten down stuff. For myself I think one of the fold up milk carton box with wheels and handle things that sell for $10 to $20 is what I would use, since its small enough to leave in the car.
