Newbie question

I picked up my 1970 F100 Sport Custom about a week ago and first thing I noticed was under the hood the prior owner must have broke the accelerator linkage and replaced it with a coat hanger, but I can not seem to locate my transmission kick down. I was hoping for some suggestions on whether to try to find replacements parts for the linkage or see if there is some sort of aftermarket assembly that will work better than the original setup.

If you can't find original throttle linkage and transmission kickdown, check out Lokar. I have their throttle and kickdown cables on my 302/C4 and they work well.
