Need a new throttle cable

Where Can I get a new throttle cable on my 86 150? It has the carb and a 300 six. The cable is all frayed on both ends and is getting stuck. I checked carparts.com, but any other sources? I dont think that ford would have it since it is 20 years old. They generally stock parts for vehicles 15 years and less.

SHONUFF and in stock at my local store. Never would have though that I could get one from there. Cool!

Thanks a bunch!

Napa carries a whole bunch of "obsolete" parts. Got a brand new high pressure power steering hose for my 1972 F-250 at Napa.

you are seriously better with a ford replacement for thist thing, u might pay about 20 bucks more for it, but trust me you don't want to end up like i did after buying from the discount auto parts stores (autozone and pepboys) and ending up with a hung open throttle on a back country road at 10:00 at night after only getting about 12,000 miles outta my new cable.
