I am very partial to Stepsides with factory 292s. I encourage you to mount one back in it. My '68 C/10 came with RPO L25 [292 L6] and the 4-speed Muncie SM 465. In 1977 I was stationed at MCAS Yuma, and rebuilt a '67 junkyard 292 up, and swapped engines. That block I ran 250,000 miles in 25 years. I rebuilt the original '68 block [I had put up in old AV8A avionics crates] in 2005, and I'm now running it. Odometer is at 407,000 on the chassis.
I notice you're at 29 Palms, and your handle begins with EOD.
Are you a Marine? And do things go BOOM at work?

Every 25 years I like to rebuild that 292, whether it needs it or not.
