That's an old Army joke. I'm sure some bored GI's tried it (there was a longstanding legend of a soldier who declared a M-16 missing in 'Nam and mailed it home piece by piece and the wife, not knowing why he was sending it, had a gunsmith friend assemble it and mailed it back to him in operating condition, no idea if that ever happened).

No way you would have gotten anything as big and heavy as the transfer case, engine, transmission, diffs, frame and other large parts that couldn't be broken down further out of the country by Army mail without the boxes being inspected.
