If they are DOD engines then they are gen IV engines and likely with 1 bolt cams right now. You could go with a 3 bolt cam, just make sure you get the correct cam sprocket for your engine(s).

just buy a 3 bolt and a 1 bolt cam gear. return whichever you dont use. just make sure the 3 bolt cam gear is 4 pole 58x. all single bolt cam gears are 58x
FWIW my 2007 5.3L truck had a single bolt. it had DOD and was non vvt
