I’m yanking the axles from my current blazer and will need to get it on a trailer to get it to the scrap yard. How have y’all moved vehicles with no axles and tires around without a fork lift? I was thinking about building a small frame with some casters that bolts to the frame.

Moving a vehicle with no axles

Put it on the trailer and then take the axles out.
I bolted a pair of 4x4 wood posts into the front hanger for the rear springs on a Suburban chassis. Left a harbor freight 4 castor furniture dolly under the front. Drug it out of the garage. Jacked up the front so my buddy could get under it, then pulled it up with a winch.
The wood kept the frame from digging into the concrete.

roll on trailer . Pop ubolts at yard . Lift off rest and strap axles down and go home .
No one’s going to ask about this Blazer you are scrapping? Lol
My local junkyard will send a rollback over and pick up scrap. You might want to call around and see if that's an option.
x2 . when i was towing we did this a lot for the local junk yard . couple 2x6 planks and slide on/off real easy . . . of a aluminum deck rollback tilted up good .
I’ll sell it if you are interested. But there’s nothing worth saving. Every panel has rust and dents, windshield frame is rotten, roof is rotten. Frame is good though. Hood is probably worth saving. Both bumpers are twisted. Grille is cracked and broken. Doors are gone. Removable top is cut apart. Tailgate might be worth saving.
Bet you could still get more money selling it as opposed to scrapping it.

I’ll throw it up in the for sale area once I strip it.
Sounds like you've got it covered, but a good sawzall blade will make short work of cutting a cab into manageable sections.
tailgates are hard to find
any tailgate stuff is hard to find for these k5 blazers .
It works last time I used it. Not in great shape.
That tailgate is still better than some of the ones guys are starting with. Don't scrap it even if you post it up online for free, someone wants it. It should at least get you some beers.
Dropped it on the floor in my garage and posted on a local fb group that if someone came and got it they can have it got a ton of responses quick and someone came and figured out how to do it
i know some are looking for the assist spring rods also .
Assist rods? You mean bitch arms? This tail gate requires you to man handle all 100lbs of it to close and open it.
