71-72 Throttle cable

Anyone bought a 71-72 4x4 throttle cable worth a crap lately? I replaced my original in early 2021 with a part from Classic Parts of America. At the time Wes and GMC Paul’s didn’t have them that I recall (could be wrong). Yesterday with less than 1,000 miles on the cable it decided to begin hanging the throttle part to wide open, and eventually break about 25 miles from home. The 10 miles or so it was acting up before it broke were a real blast, filled with full throttle runs, cutting the ignition at speed, 4-5 stops to modify the return spring so it would pull it all the way closed, ultimately leading to the cable snapping. Good thing it’s got a 4 speed so I still had full hydroboost brakes while it was running with the Ignition off.

So… Anyone bought a decent part lately that will last more than 1,000 miles?
