About the only thing that can "go bad" about a water pump is that the seal can get damaged during the over-heat, so it could leak. If it holds water, you are good to go.

A junkyard radiator is a calculated risk. Instead of throwing $100 or more into a vehicle that may be NFG you throw 40 or 50 bucks at it. If the truck turns out to be unworthy of any further effort, you're out less money. If it is worth it, maybe you get 6 months or a year out of the radiator before you gotta spend the bigger bucks to do a primo job on the cooling system. Bet hey, just one guy's opinion...
