That's a promising looking L25 [292's RPO]. Way cool valve cover. And I dig the pre-1967 Alpine Green. I have a MY '63 292 core that is that Green. I may rebuild it and put it in my '67 K/10 Suburban. And keep it green.

For my 2 cents, I would put the 292 in the '67 C/10 Shortbed. My '68 C/10 Stepside was originally optioned with the L25, and it rocks. I rebuilt my OEM '68 block in 2005 with HiPo options. I ran a '67 292 block from 1977 to 2002, for 250,000 miles until the rings were shot.

I would go with a bigger engine in the C/50. Especially if you're gonna tow with it.
