Broken Throttle Cable

I broke the throttle cable today about 100 miles from home. The end under the dash came off and I put a small pair of vise grips on it to keep it in place to get home. My question, is this a ord dealer item or can I get it from an auto parts store? Oh, it is an 88 F-150, 4.9, AOD.

Sorry, you were all wrong, the dealers don't stock that item anymore. I got it from Advance Auto for $35.00.

Wow! I just got one within the past year from my dealer. Good to know that they are aftermarket items now. Thanx. Jake.
