    I do save the anti-freeze for use in other vehicles, at $6. or more a gallon
    he had already pulled the dash for the wire so it was very little work or extra work anyway, 90% of the heater cores are aluminum that I pull, and your right they are small, but it is so worth it when you fill a whole truck bed of radiators

    expect the worst and hope for the best

    Don't get me wrong I do save and sort every piece of metal that comes my way and have scrapped 100s of cars and trucks in the last 40 years.
    I was wondering if they had switched to aluminum heater cores in the newer vehicles, knowingt that means I won't waste my time going after them. The copper wiring is worth pulling out.
    The 88 or 89 (have one of each) caravan on my trailer had to go fast because I needed the cash for this month's bills and the weather was promising to bring an acre of slop and mud which it surely did.
    It spent a few hours on it's side while I dropped the iron and gas tank then got flopped back,dragged and hoisted so I could drop the engine which I need for parts for my other one of the same style and then get my trailer under it.
    I still have all the iron from underneath and engine/tranny, I have three of those rear axles and none are rusted through.
    The hoist is an early 1950s Minneapolis Moline "Unifarmer" implement hoist rated at 4500 lb hand crank worm drive.
    I do work and live in a very primitive environment.
