If the passenger rear engine mount has rivets to the frame, it is original. If it has bolts, it was likely a gasser changed to multi.
If the front engine crossmember is vertically oriented rectangular tubing, it is likely A1. If it is open channel laid "flat", it would be A2 era.
Looks like a rare survivor.
As far as the engine, maybe get numbers off the injection pump. I suspect the only way to really tell would be to pull a cylinder head.
Hello, I am an A1 nerd, as is @stb64
That is the larger LDS turbo, indeed. Figuring out if the engine is LDS 465 or 427 might be a little trickier.
If the truck you have was a gasser, that would make it an M35 and it sounds like the engine came from an M35A1.
Good news, most parts...
