Cross-over steering?
I've just bought, (and installed), all new MOOG tie-rod ends and steering components. Problem is now I want to go cross-over. Is there any kit/method/way to retain or re-use any of the new parts I just bought?

Most crossover kits that do not use heim joints use a larger chebby style tie rod end, so you probably will not be able to use your existing stuff, but you are only talking about one end. That would be only the end that attatches the drag link to the new arm on the steering knuckle. No big deal really.
The tie rod stays the same so if that is new, it will stay right where it is at. As far as the drag link goes, the link at the pitman arm stays the same, it will thread right into the new drag link, so that only leaves one.
I would suggest you consider the chebby style here, because it is larger, stronger, and has more flex than the smaller ones.

Check out Sky Manufacturings website. They are located in Oregon and have all the measurements for the crossover in kit form. It made the installation so very quick and easy.The parts they sold me were very heavy duty and I for one am very happy with the purchase and service they provided me. They even machined my steering knuckle for me and sent it back with all the parts I ordered.
They can answer all your questions regarding your newly purchased parts.
