HELP! '65 Econoline Throttle Cable Replacement

Hi All, Throttle Cable snapped on '65 Econoline yesterday and need to replace ASAP! I've found PART# C6TZ-9A758-E for 66-67 Econoline and is 55 1/2" Long.
Anyone know of 61-65 Part Number for Econoline Throttle Cable or Part # for 55 1/2" Throttle Cable (W/O TE) that will fit?? Found C5TZ-9A758 Throttle Cable variations with C5TZ-9A758-A(s) for Trucks, C5TZ-94758-J for Bronco... Is there C5TZ-9A758 for Econoline?? Thanks for ANY Help!

I've found part # C6TZ-9A758-E for 66-67 Econoline 240 I-6 with T/E - 54.83" long / Obsolete ~ 1 available NOS
C5TZ-9A758-AF (replaced C5TZ-9A758-B & C5TZ-9A758-AB) .. Accelerator Cable - 54.83" long / Obsolete

1965 Econoline 240 I-6 / 1966/67 Econoline 240 I-6 without T/E (Thermactor Emission - smog pump - introduced in 1966).

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

GREAT! Thanks for the reply! Since C6TZ-9A758-E is with TE can it be used on '65 w/o TE? If not, what's the difference if they're both are 54.83" in length?? Are there any other Ford Throttle Cables 54.83" that would be interchangeable or is C5TZ-9A758-AF the ONLY Ford option? I've come across:

C5TZ-9A758-A
C5TZ-9A758-AD
C5TZ-9A758-AG
C5TZ-9A758-AH
C5TZ-9A758-C
C5TZ-9A758-D
C5TZ-9A758-F

What are these for, ANY of them near 54.83" and potential candidates??
Appreciate ANY Help,
THANK YOU!

Ford sez no...but what the difference is, I don't know.
AFAIK, no other cable will work.

I posted the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog 9A758 accelerator cable application chart in post #2, but Bronco isn't listed in truck parts catalogs until 1980.

C5TZ-94758-J is an invalid part number. The correct part number is C6TZ-9A758-J but this is for 1966/72 Bronco 170 I-6 and it's 22.34" long.

Great. My apologize for Bronco Throttle. You are correct with your numbers of course. I started my search C6 and found corresponding C5 cables. How about '61-64' Econoline Accelerator Cable??? Any number for these?? The routing is essentially the same so length should be close I would assume. Thanks a Million!

No part number, because there's no such thing as a 1961/64 Econoline w/an accelerator cable.

The chart in post #2 doesn't list 1964 Econoline. 1957/63 Ford truck catalog doesn't list 1961/63 Econoline.

T'wasn't a cable...
Rods & Linkage used 1961/64 E100 144/170 I-6 and 1965/67 E100 170 I-6 (upper pic).

Lower pic: 1965/67 E100 240 I-6 showing 9A758 accelerator cable.

I used a 72" Lokar cable in this 64 with a V8 swap. I bet you could fab up a Lokar pretty easily, a six cylinder prolly wont need one that long, I would buy one a few inches longer than stock.
