Question Broken Tailgate Cable

My tailgate supprort cables snapped today at work. I've got a fullsize '90. Does anybody know where I can get replacements for these? Will NAPA be able to get them for me? Thanks for any info.

I got mine at Autozone. They're a standard stocking item for them. I think they're about $13 each.

After several years of a broken tailgate cable I replaced mine last weekend. I got mine from the "Graveyard" when I ordered some other parts. I believe it was about $13. I did notice it was not exactly like the original on my '89 but it fit alright.

I have the older style bolts, and ford does not make them anymore. All of the local yards have been stripped! Any other ideas?
