Default throttle cable HELP!!!!

what are most people using for a throttle cable. i am running a 5.3 in a 85 silverado and i am lost. i spent a couple of hours in a salvage yard trying to find one that would be suitable. a couple of different cavalier cables look pretty darn close but after fighting wasps and spiders i said screw it. anyone know what will work thanks fellas.

lokar seems to be pretty popular but im cheap. I dealt with the wasps and spider at the junkyards and came out a winner with a 90s bonneville Tb cable. I had to mod the bracket on the intake to move it closer to the TB but it worked with my firewall and pedal. It only cost me an hour and $5

The lokar works great.

I used the tahoe throttle cable that came with my 5.3. I had to slightly enlarge the hole in the firewall and bend the gas pedal to take up some slack but that was it.
