throtle linkage broke

Good greif! It's 105 º, I'm motoring along at about 55 and I all of a sudden have no Throttle, engine drops to an idle and I coast to a stop. Pop the hood and see two rods hanging down one at the back side straight down and the front one looks like it broke at some threads. Too hot to do any thing so I idled 15 miles home, mostly all down hill. got it in the garage tonight Is this an easy fix or a dealer item? I'll take a look in the morning when things are cooler.
