I'm sure it was a good decision.  I had my '59 tested too, after it had sat for 30 years in a shed in Ossinnee, NY.  Tested fine. so I simply soaked it in Simple Green for several days, reverse flushed several times until it ran clear.  Have been running the original radiator for a few years now with no hint of an overheating problem.  Then, this is NH and overheating is a rare dream even for a young man.  Note:  Apparently salt had not damaged the fins.
