No, your truck is a single stage all over. If only its hood is still shiny, about the only reason I can think of would be that you tend to take the most care with the hood.
You asked in another thread about Megs Mirror Glaze #7. It works great on single stage paint. But before that, I would use Megs #1 or #2 cleaners, and after #26 wax.

Not questioning your statement but that is much later than the mid to late eighties when Michael Stoops says clear coats became more prevalent. Is there a reason Toyota did that? I have a 2002 Volvo which I assume is clear coated because when I have polished it I get no black transfer.
Like I said not meant as a challenge just curious.

Check the paint code. 040 is SS. More than likely it is SS.
It loves an AIO every once in a while. My go to is D151 on an orange LC pad.

Not knowing if you are the original owner, or not...
Was there ever a need for a respray on the hood?
Have you seen the below thread?
Try the "SS-test" method on the hood;
and then on a couple of other panels.

IMO:
You just need for your polish-removal-cloths
to be of a darker color than your truck...
in order to check its paint-system "type".
