selected factory-sponsored teams
Also, some issue with the fiberglass fenders, and front-end steering with the modifications to the control arm.

As far as I know, Hurst installed the factory length Dana's that were to go into B Bodys, Runners, Cornets, etc. That's why they used those goofy offset rear rims. This is the first I heard of a shortage, but I've been wrong before,---just not today yet!!!
There was a shortage on the glass fenders on the later cars I believe, & when they came available again, they came in blue gel coat.
As far as the modified steering arms,, the only car I've seen with them is the Joe Jill Speedwin Automotive car. When I purchased the Landy 4 spd. car from Steve O'Neil in 96, there was a new set of these things in the trunk, but not on the car. Not sure how many were actually installed by Hurst, before they let the cars go. I thought these were an after thought because of the poor steering geometry due to the K members being spaced 1/2". Only those "in the know" got them. ------- Any Input??????
