Anyone dealt with scrapping old helicoptor bodies? Engines are long gone just the frame and body left to salvage. Any input would be appreciated.

Should be mostly alum.
I worked on military helos and and agree with Mech mostly Al. Most of the flight controls have steel bearings and fasteners. If there are hyd lines they will be Al or SS. Mike.
7000 series aluminum. Aircraft aluminum is the highest grade that there is. Call the yard you deal with and tell them you have a thousand lbs of it and see what price they shoot you. Just keep in mind that some of the fluid in lines may be highly corrosive to your skin and can burn you to the bone. Have fun and be super safe.
