Block heater question
Good day noble people of FTE.
Up front, I'll apologize if this question has been asked before, but, I did a search and could not find the specific info I am looking for.
Does anyone have the International part number for the block heater cord? I'll be heading in the direction of the nearest dealer tomorrow and I would like to call them to ensure they have it in stock. Thanks.

Your truck has an "International 365VGT"...they won't have a clue what a 6.0L is; and more than likely will tell you something to the effect of "we don't support Ford trucks". In that case, your driving an old school bus you've converted to a RV or you bought the engine out of a wrecked school bus. Which ever story you use should work

Ok. I know I promised an update several days ago but I got busy and couldn't get to it.
Anyway, I finally got the cord and installed it today. Here's a couple observations:
1. Part number from International turned out to be a Ford part number, 6E7Z-6B018-AA. 66 inches long with a circuit protected plug on the end. Weird. It's an International part yet it has a combination of 2 different Ford part numbers I found on here.
2. The end that plugs into the block is angled (90 degrees) as opposed to the one shown in the Diesel Mentor article which is straight. The angled one is a pain to get in. The straight one looks like it would have been easier.
Installation was pretty straight forward. I wrapped the whole thing in wire loom, snaked it over the cross member and fed the plug end around the radiator and out next to the tow ring. Now I've just got to wait for cold weather to try it out.
