Default Snapped my E-brake cable

Ok, so today I pulled the e-brake and snap.. something was wrong. When I got back home I lifted the car on jacks, got underneath and noticed that right at the point where the cable coming from the cabin and is attaching to the bracket that leads to both the rear cables, was missing. Didn't get a pic to show. It was getting dark and just wanted to see what happened. So I know I need the cable coming from the cabin to that point. Countless searches, as nothing popped anywhere. Went to autozone, napa and advance and none of them carry it. Anyone know where I can get one from ? already went to americanmuscle, summit, 50resto.. running out of ideas, and I'm trying not to take the trip to the dealership if I don't have too. Any help would be apreciated.

Thx Doug. That's not what I need. That the Right Rear cable. I need the cable going from the actual e-brake handle to where it connects with the bracket that leads to the RR and RL cables. I've looked on e-bay last night as well and could not find anything. Maybe it has some special name I can't figure out or something lol.. I'll just go to the dealership and buy it. I need to buy a fog light bulb that they want 38 bucks for as well. outrageous prices they have lol.

Wasn't there a TSB out on this? I thought there was something about moisture getting in the e-brake cable housing, allowing the cable to actually rust through near the rear end. This only applied to 05-06 years. They fixed it for 07. It's worth looking in to. You might be able to get parts for cheaper if you have the info to back up your arguement

Nevermind, it was for a cable locking up in cold weather.
