    I believe that at least 1/4" thick is the norm at most yards.

    local yard here pays 240/ton prepared & 200/ton unprepared, prepared is 18" x 3' and smaller. You are going to have to cut to haul anyways, may not be many more cuts to sell as prepared depending on size of frame. If frame ways 10,000 pays $200.00 more based on the price example I used. Try google search on how much a mobile home or trailer house frame weighs. I did and a 14 x 70 weighs about 24,500 lb from the link that came up. Psot you results after cutting and selling, size and weight, others will be interested in knowing.
