Scrapping radiator question?

I've recently installed a new radiator in my 93 F250 and I'm wanting to take the original in to the scrap yard. I know the tanks are brass. Can anyone tell me what the vertical coolant columns between the tanks and the air blades between them are made of? I've been told brass and copper. I've removed all the steal but didn't know if the area in between the tanks needed separated also or not.

I'm pretty sure it's all copper/brass.

Anything a magnet won't stick to can stay on it. I got about 75 bucks for my last one!

Yup, knock the steel off and it's good to go. Even the trans cooler is all brass.

Awesome!! Thanks for the info!! I replaced the tranny cooler, A/C condenser, and the heater core also! I was assuming the 3 of them were aluminum but you say the tranny cooler is brass also?
