Re: what year did 292 start in
I know a guy that had a 65 3/4 ton and it had a 292 in it. It might have been an option. If you look behind the seat you might be able to see the build sheet and see what it came with. This only works if you have the original seat the the build sheet is still in one piece.

1963
A coil-spring front suspension came in 1963; along with a new base engine, a 140 hp (104 kW) 230 in³ (3.8 L) I6, and an optional 165 hp (123 kW) 292 in³ (4.8 L) I6. from: http://www.60-66chevytrucks.info/

Re: what year did 292 start in
The 250 in trucks(first year '66) was about the same green color...looked surprisingly like the color of the 327's. Hmmmm
