We're thirty miles from any auto parts store. Actually, I'm the best source for auto parts for anyone living within five miles of me. (On my to-do list is to start a Pleasant Valley auto parts store, using all the repair shop kits I bought when I worked at CarQuest.)
When I was semi-restoring a 1980 Ford Bronco, I discovered a previous owner had tried to install a Chevy cruise control in it ... and just left everything as is when he gave up.
The general manager for the Fairbanks CarQuest offered to order the cable for you and have it sent to the Reno store.
