Crap, I broke the throttle stop

Was adjusting the long threaded rod that holds the bracket against the firewall that the accelerator rod attaches to to actuate the carburetor. I can still use it, but it is now too short. The threads were trashed so cant really reattach it to the remaining piece. It is a rod about 6-8" long.

Where can I find this part? There are very few to no 67-72 trucks left in the yards. I doubt it would be available at parts stores.

What about using a tap and die kit to make a new one?

If all you want is threaded rod, NAPA sells it. About a grade 2 type of material, but, fine for something not under stress and flex.
You can also get screw on eyelets.
