Broken throttle linkage str8-6

Shhhewwww... I've spent more time trying to hook up my carb and tranny linkage than I've spent on the rest of the truck.

Now a piece of my linkage is broken. Please see pictures. Where can I get a replacement linkage rod like this one? That little part with the ball on the end of it, that is broken off in the rod, is crimped in there... it looks like I'll need the whole rod with the little thingy on it. Can I buy a linkage rod like this somewhere? Anybody have one? Any ideas for a fix? I prefer an original looking piece, but I'll settle for something else if y'all got any ideas.

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot! That's what it's all about, people with a common interest helping one another. If I can't find another one in a few days I'll holler back at you. If you do have one, I'll make it worth your while to send it to me.
Again, Thanks
