The plate load impedance depends roughly on the possible anode voltage
swing, not supply voltage, and on the mode (conduction angle) the tube is
biased for. The tube can´t be driven to zero volts on the anode and factor
1,8 is good for class B only.
I would expect tube Z therefore below 2k ohms in that example.

Best is to use the free Eimac "tube performance computer" to do the
calculations.

The plate load impedance of your amplifier is expressed approximately as:
[(plate voltage in volts) divided by (1.8 times the plate current in
amps)]."" 
For me that would be 2400 plate volts and 600 ma of plate current max, this
works out to 2222 ohms.
