Not sure what you want to do, exactly. Getting heat from the Cat? Google insulation car or drop by your friendly pick a part and look at about a thousand cars/trucks till you see a insulation pad that looks easy to faster to you truck, and then scarf it. Probably cost about 5.00.
First look under the 'hot spot' and see where the heat is coming from. You can by thermal wrap at any hotrod, speed shop, and wrap an exhaust pipe, but not a Cat. That would get too hot. If the heat is coming from a cat, put something between the cat and the floor pan. You can screw it on with sheet metal screws, not a good idea, usually, or use 3M yellow glue to adhere a soft pad to the bottom of the body pan.
Another way is to get some insulation, thin, even a 'space blanket' doubled or tripled from Lowe's, Ace, Home Depot, etc. and put it under the passenger carpet.

I have done all these things on Rods and custom stuff. They all work, and don't cost much.

Good luck
Chris

I would suggest you be careful about the type of material and where you install.I would be concerned about moisture causing rust.Just trying to help.Good Luck!

Yup, my thought's also. Leaning toward adding something inside under the carpet. You would not believe how hot it gets on the passenger side!

No wonder our air conditioners are having problems cooling the cab.
