That's a very interesting idea. For the 8,000 lb. do they allocate a container for you? If they do, that would give you a definite target in terms of getting it to fit within a certain envelope.
You'd have to give thought to how & where the chassis modules "break", and it would be a custom design for sure. I've seen a small boat hull that was built on the modular concept. You could unbolt the parts and pack them into a pickup bed. It might be possible.

It's different depending on the moves. If you take the option to do it your self, it's a different ballgame but, in this case I won't really have that option. The military contracts a moving company to come pick up your stuff and they're usually 4-6 wooden crates something in the neighborhood of 6x6x8ft tall. They can fit a fair ammount of stuff in them. I have a 36in wide tool box and a 96in work bench. They'll shove stuff in all the little drawers and crevaces of your furnature and ect, it's not pretty but, they'll make it work, and they'll likely damage some stuff. Sometimes cosmetically, sometimes functionally.
I was thinking there seems to be 3 major functional areas the front suspension/engine area, the "cockpit" area, and the rear end/rear suspension area.

I'm trying hard but can't seem to generate much sympathy for your plight. Maybe try me again in a month or two....no, wait, it'll be -30* here then so still no sympathy.....climate wise anyways.
Good luck with the project!!
There's a lot more to this garbage dump then simply nice beaches and warm climate. I could go on and on but, the short version is i'm well passed ready to leave this crime ridden, over priced, population dense rock and get back to a main continent somewhere. Hawaii is not my cup of tea.
