my block heater cord got messed up years ago and i just used a computer power cord. ended up working just fine.

Climbed under the truck today. Not the same as a computer cord. It is two round prongs. Also the outside of the plug it threaded so that it will not fall off.

you have to splice it then attach it the block heater.

Heres another option I saw in another forum
"Ford quoted $89.00 to me for the power cord.
I went to a International dealer and they ordered the part I needed.
It was around $17.00.
International part number
ZBL3600008
Made by Zerostart (their item number)
706051
Saved allot of cash..
They are a pain to put in unless you have a lift...
Took me about 20 min. laying on my back with arms stretched up into engine compartment.....Hardest part is getting the plug into socket far enough to get the threads on the retainer ring to start."
Anyone needing one might try this
