What's a practical way to scrap out some radiators?

I know it's an odd question but I need to clean up around my garage.  I have some radiators laying around taking up needed room I want to get rid of.  Can't remember the status on some of them but by the looks they need repaired or re-cored.  Is it practical to cut off the side brackets, tops and bottoms to save for the part numbers and possibly sell to someone wanting a numbers resto that would end up re-coring anyway?  Then I could just scrap out the majority of the copper/brass for weight and get some clean up done.  Truck is already got intakes, exhaust manifolds, ac compressors, rusted trunk lid and hood plus other steel nobody was asking for and I think the next load with brass copper and aluminum will bring in some new parts money for the current project.  I'm tired of the garage and the side area looking like Sanford and Son's place  :rotz: plus I inherited the boat my father left and need the space for it.  Anyone re-cored their radiator with the old top/bottom to keep it original looking?

If it were me I'd list them complete first, thre are plenty of free places to put them up- here, Moparts, even Ebag.  Look up the part numbers and find out what they fit, see if anyone wants them like that first. 
Most places around here if you mix scrap you won't get much out of it, keep any brass, copper or aluminum separate when you take it in.

:yesnod:  yep  list the part numbers on the top tanks  ,  a radiator shop can fit  new  more efficant  core & re fit original top & bottom tanks & brackets    :yesnod:
