[T3] What to Recycle?

[Jim Adney]

None of us like to see good parts recycled, but deciding what to keep and 
what to toss is always difficult. If you're saving body panels that are rusty, 
toss them. There's very little demand for body parts other than perfect front 
fenders and bumpers. Heavy parts like brake rotors, generators, or starters 
are likely to be too expensive to ship, and they are readily available in the 
aftermarket. I'd be tempted to take camshafts if they aren't too worn, but they 
are bulky and would have to be packed carefully to survive shipping.

Clutch parts can be tossed, likewise flywheels.

Ball joints and tie rod ends are usable if the boots are still intact, otherwise 
recycle.

Windshields are good if they are intact. Most other glass, much less so.

Seat belts don't sell, but various relays have occasional value. OG Bosch 
coils are good to keep.

When I finally sell my '71 to a Rich Collector, I'll have everything from brake disks, master cylinders, a box of relays and Voltage Regulators, and calipers and generators and fuel pumps, camshafts, lights and fixtures, clutch disks, flywheels, heads, valves, a transmission, ball joints, torsion bars, ETCETERA Etc....plus two doors, a rear hatch, some bumpers and fenders, windshield and other windows, seat-belts, and again ETC...not to mention hub caps, with some dents.

That is....I don't know, and cannot test or guarantee, if brake master cylinders, coils, generators, distributors, injectors, calipers, etc etc are any good...not to mention the elec. relays and the like.
