I have never seen one with it and I had seen a 67 that had never been restored up till a few years ago. I don't think it was even an option.
1969 Ford F-100. 302 4 barrel, C4 auto, 9in 3.50 open rear, headers, power steering, Turq/wht, Under restoration. In other words, in a million pieces!!!

There is no Replacement for Displacment!!!

No, they never came with underhood insulation. Considering the amount of air-space between the engine and the hood, it really isn't needed. There's enough air circulation there to prevent engine heat from damaging the paint on the hood.

I guess I never really thought about it,but I didn't know that was why they put insulation under the hood....
