Thanks Peter, that's the best help anyone's given me so far and highly appreciated! I will be following that up with rare spares, they gave me a form to fill out to get them made in Sydney, so I will check the web out n see if its the same deal as what they were banging on about last Friday.
I have more photos of my rebuild but I can't upload them due to some being a larger size, and I'm on my phone only at the mo, so can't resize them for now. The already uploaded ones were taken with the same mobile, so I'm still trying to figure out why some can be uploaded and others cant.
Re chromed the front bumper and put it on yesterday. Rather expensive but worth it given the state it was in. Apparently Packard added a higher nickel content to them due to the need for better quality metals for the Korean war production vehicles.
