Info on a 292

[5150]

I have an opportunity to buy a 67 lwb with a 292 in it and was wanting some info on the motor itself. I've seen a lot of guys post some ????"s about them but never really paid attention.

Also the seller said it has a metal bed, but I didn't think that metal beds were offered in 67?

um my dad had a 67 lwb it was metal

[sameyrasmea72]

Starting in 67, the metal floor was standard.

Here's a few pics of the truck. I just got back from looking at it.

Just using my "SIX" eye, she looks like a 250 to me by the height. I should wait till all your pictures load to see the passengers side of the engine, but I am impatient

[CPNEJR]

it looks like a 250 to me. if you get some pics of the passenger side of the engine we will definately be able to tell

[5150]

sorry, didn't get any pics of the pass side. Is the truck worth anything? I can get it pretty cheap, but don't need it. Could take some parts off for my blazer.

theres a lot of stuff there I'd be interested in if you pick this up and part it out,or the whole thing





thanks,
James

That looks like a 250 to me also.I can't beleive you didn't already buy it.It does have the rare "Bucket" seat option.If ya don't save the truck at least save the good parts.

Easiest way to check for a 292 is the passenger side motor mount. On the 292 the passenger mount not opposite the driver's side, it's one cylinder forward. If the mounts are opposite, it's a 250, 230 or 194.

As for the rest of the truck, the seats might be the most valuable parts.

Agree w/ everyone else, looks as if it is a 250

[Longhorn Man]

the overload springs are worth a bit, the cab looks pretty nice by rust belt standards, that rear bumper would look good on my truck... it would be hard not to make some money on that if you got it cheap.
Steel floors were standard with wood being optional starting in 67 on all fleet side trucks with 115 or 127 inch wheel base, wood is all you could get in step sides and longhorns.

i'd buy the bumper for sure brian or maybe work out some trade for other parts that i may have

Does it come with a title? That and the VIN plate should be worth sumthin.

[Green Machine]

Is that a 73-87 rear bumper?

[manimal]

to tell if its a 292 or 250,230,or 194 messure the side covers (on the pass side of the engine) the 292 will be approx 6" the rest approx 4"

[panhandler62]

The cab and front clip don't look too bad though you will probably end up redoing the rockers (unless you are fond of rivets and rust.)

The stealth bedsides are a rare option usualy only found on flatbeds.

So that's what they're called...

[shifty]

I'll buy the "bucket" seats for $5

Looks like a 250. Got any shots of the passenger side of engine? That would be the best way to tell.

[5150]

Well, for several hundred dollars I think it may be worth picking up.

[shifty]

I would pay no more than $400 for that. I have seen several vehicles that are running and rolling with seats and doors, a bed and about the same amount of rust on the body (but better frame) for 1k-2k

[5150]

well, I bought it. Probably going to go pick it up this weekend.

[sixtysevengmc]

I'm REALLY interested in a few parts on this if you part it out
