The block heater in my CUCV is also a 600w in the freeze plug hole. I
had to replace it and got another one from Auto Zone store. You can get
them at any auto store.

The factory block heater in my Dodge/Cummins engine is also a unit that
replaces a freeze plug. Also 600 W on household power. They're
probably quite easy to find.
