1974 Chevy Bread Truck. Aluminum body worth scrapping?

Its on craigslist. The guy is asking 2k for it. If the body is aluminum do you think it could be worthwhile to buy it and then sell it to the yard at aluminum prices? I don't typically flip cars so i'm way out of my element here.

No yard is going to just buy it for aluminum. You would have to take it apart. When you do that I'm quite sure you won't be even close to making any money, it's just a question of how much are you going to lose. Aluminum just doesn't pay much. If your at .30# 5000# would only be 1500.00.

I could think of a lot of uses for the truck, it could be very useful, but at 2k you won't make anything in scrap.
