Default Old parts...toss?

I have a 75 L48.

I am about to throw away the orig radiator (with hole in the center of it...big hole) the waterpump (worked till the day I took it off) and oil pump (worked)

I dont suppose anything is worth keeping, but figured I would check here first before the trash guy shows up.

I would keep the dated water pump and maybe the radiator- or at least the tank with the date on it. With the price or copper and brass it is probably worth $20 for scrap. The oil pump is junk. My.02

If there is a scrap dealer near you the radiator is worth a couple bucks. Unless the water pump is the original one it probably isn't worth saving, you might take it and the oil pump to a swap meet and try to get a couple bucks for them, but probably more trouble than they're worth.

My $0.002

My life experience: If you keep them they will just take up space and you will never need them.

If you get rid of them, in less than a weeks time you'll need them badly.

Well I know why original stuff is worth more money. I am just going to toss them. Not worth the trouble. Spring cleaning.
