If you can get a copy of the factory shop manual for the truck you can check the VIN and see which engine the truck originally had. One of the digits indicates the engine. I looked at Advance Autoparts web site for the 1968 K20, the K indicates 4x4, and the 20 3/4 ton, and the engines they state available is a 250, 307, 327, 396. The C20, where C indicates 2x4 the engines available are 250, 392, 307, 327, 396. I'm not sure why the 292 was not offered, but there should be some parts that would mount the engine since there should be mounting holes available. Did you get all the mounting parts from the 1967 with the engine? I looked up the part numbers for the oil pan gasket sets for the 292 and 250, and they are the same number. Would the oil pan for the 250 be different in shape than the 292? Maybe trying the oil pan from a 250 on the 292 would give you room? If it works, then you will need to check the oil pickup to make sure it's right, and the dipstick and dipstick tube, too.
