M1028 to M1028A3 Gov Conversion?

Also today I located the rear sway bar, overload springs and associated hardware, along with another Dana 70 (some pieces missing but good carrier) so I think I have all the missing pieces now. I need a good 6.2 to swap in, to replace the blown head gasket engine in the truck now....

Yeah, it's a couple rows down on the "project" list, but inside out of the weather waiting for a new motor.

M1028 to M1028A3 Gov Conversion?

Hmmm, my handmade data plate has the GM part number that appears on the "factory" kit data plate..... Ok, then, since it's not a complete conversion, I'm scrapping it...... Not.... ;)

Were the donor trucks all A1's (5077) or did the A2's get into the mix as well?

The thing I really like is the complete install of the dual tanks, complete with the switch on the dash. Also the Dana 70 with 4:56 gears. I am curious if the helper springs on the front axle are part of the conversion?

Was the conversion to A3 a common thing, or a an as needed conversion of an A1 to an A3?

Suspension Pics, part of the reason the rear leafs are bowed is because the bottom spring is installed upside down...

Mods, If this has been covered before, please delete. These are pics and observations of the 1028A3 I bought from GSA in Utah. First, I believe this truck is a Gov conversion of a 1028 (5077) into a A3. Stickers in the cab lead me to believe this was a USAF truck. Pics:
