Our trucks never came with any kind of hood insulation from the factory. Why do you feel the need to add insulation? The only real reason the factory adds it is to reduce noise, which is not typically something you're going to control well in our old rattily pickups.

That's what the cowl vent and windows are for :-P

It would be far more effective to add additional thermal barrier and insulation on the firewall and floor, and the roof and back of the cab if you live in a hot sunshine area, than to try to mess with the underside of the hood. Those would be the areas that the heat is coming from, not the hood. My 2c.
