I see lots of folks at car/truck shows pulling one of the big wheel kids 
wagons (with or without kids)with the cute wooden sideboards.  Saw one with 
4 rims and an intake/carb combo and a bunch of other crap in sacks...last 
month at Crusin the Coast in Biloxi.  The big 8-10" tires make it easy to 
navigate over rough ground and it's much easier than lifting/pushing a wheel 
barrow.  You can find the at yard sales and flea markets... or fabricate 
your own any size you need.. you could make a specialized "salvage vehicle" 
with a tool box rack and cooler if it's gonna be a day long excursion.... 
When you get back to the car/truck... toss it in the back with the loot ! 
No room in the trunk ??  got a receiver type trailer hitch ??   weld a 2" 
square tube across the bottom and slide it into the receiver on the 
car/truck.. pin it down and hit the road.
