What Urks you when looking at a used 67-72 truck?

It seems that everybody that has a 6 cylinder truck thinks it's a 292. I once drove 3 1/2 hrs; about 1 1/2 hr more than I thought it was going to be; to look at a truck with a good running 292 that turned out to be a 250 that hadn't run in years. Even guys with 50's trucks will tell you that it has a 292 in it when it's actually a 235.

That sucks, but passenger side motor mount and fuel pump location are a sure-fire way to ID that, and you can usually see that in a photo.
