460/C6 Kickdown Rod

I accidentally bent up my kickdown rod on my 1976 F150 with a 460/C6. I can't get it straightened back out in the right position. Does anyone know where I can buy a new (NOS?) one?

I know there are a lot of aftermarket kickdown cables out there. If I can't find the right rod, does anyone have any recommendations for a new cable?

D5TZ-7A187-A .. C6/460 Kickdown Rod / Obsolete

1975 F100/350 from serial number V80,001; 1976/77 F100/350.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any, none on ebay.
