It was on the truck when I bought it. It is not functional as any sort of air intake for the engine, but there are vents in the rear that let heat out of the engine compartment. I suppose it could be made into a functional air intake with a few mods. the under side of it looks just like an OEM hood with insulation and all.

Your underside hood is insulated? Is that factory? I wish mine were insulated.I had an 81 Z28 with the functional cowl scoop.I use to gun the engine alot just to watch the doors open fully!

Nice!

Looks like the day was getting short there.

Are those 20s? Original?

By insulated I mean the black felt like material attached to the underside of the hood. I dont know if its factory on all of these trucks or not. Heck even my 97 F-250 has insulation on the underside of the hood. I assumed that when the PO had the cowl hood installed that they simply removed the insulation and all the hardware from the factory hood and transferred it to this one.
I can take some pics if need be.

Yes the 20's are original. I am so glad I got that option. It just makes the look of the truck. It's starting to get dark about 7 here.

Cool

I have the base model XL so I dont think Ford had hood insulation in mind for it.Probably to keep cost' down.
