Any help would be much appreciated. Trying to locate a drain plug for the cooling system. Somewhere near the front of the engine hopefully. I'm trying to install this adapter so I can run a block heater. If you know the hole/thread size that would be awesome too.Thank you.

In our trucks, the radiator drain is on the rad. passenger side of the rad facing the engine, 19MM hex, it's plastic so it doesn't need a ton of torque...

There are two located on both sides of the engine about 2 to 3 inches above the oil pan on the block next to the freeze plugs

Does anyone have the part numbers to these plugs? I have found both plugs but the one on the driver's side(8mm Allen Key Head) looks a little stripped. I cannot find the part on any Ford website. Or the dimensions of each plug would be good as well to get a replacement plug. Thanks.

I installed same style block heater in my truck . The plug is a standerd 1/4" NPT so any hardware store should have replacements.
