Hire a guy with a rollback. I used to move trucks like that all the time on my transport. Getting them off usually isn't that hard either. But thats your best bet. Anything else would be complicated and dangerous.

Re: How to remove a truck with no axels under it???

I had a suburban that I needed to get rid of. I called the local towing/yard and asked how much $ they would give me for a junk sub. I described it to him and he said they would haul it away for free.
I should mention it was gutted. NO nothing, only thing left was a body held to the frame by 2 bolts(I took out the body lift)
The tow truck guy winched it onto the rollback and went down the road.

I've also torched apart a pickup and hauled to a yard in 3-4 pickup loads. The same thing could be accomplished with a sawzall and a trailer.

As far as I know, Tilt and regular columns should interchange as long as they are from the same years.(67-72 and 73-91) I swapped an 80 tilt/auto column for a 78reg/man column in my pickup .

If you just need to get ride of it, look in your local paper for one of those "I buy junk cars" ad's. Call them up and let them worry about how to load it up.

In my auto tech class in high school, we moved a car using 4 floor jacks /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif. It was like a foot and a half off the ground, but it worked. Needless to say my teacher wasn't the brightest cookie in the jar.

I had to do it once. It still had leaf springs. I called a tow company and told them what I needed towing and they sent someone out. I didn't even have to pay for it. Apparently the scrap was worth enough for them. They sent out a roll back, and we needed my highlift for one part.

borrow a torch from somebody and dice it up.

Avatar is the pic under the username on the right of the screen. I'm not sure if non-members(blue) can even see them. Try going to "my home" at the top of the page and look at your personal settings. I think viewing avatars maybe an option as it takes a little more to see them.(some have animation/video in them)

I'm no computer wiz, I can barely read, but if you really want to know, start a post about it and somebody(hopefully a moderator or the man himself)will fill you in.
