- - Truck cover (https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=860950)

I'm looking for a new cover for my C/10. I'd like one that fits the body, meaning covers the cab and then drops down and sits level on the box, so that you can tell it's a truck when covered. If someone has something similar to this would you please post a picture along with information on it. My truck sits inside all the time so just want a light weight cover mainly for dust.

I second CCC I've had several over the years and they are top notch for fit.

LMC Truck. I've had a mid-grade for my indoor truck and the top-grade for my outdoor truck for many years. Great quality, fit and price..I"m not sure how they can even make any money

Purchased this OER truck cover from Summit Racing.
Lightweight waterproof cover that fits well for our trucks with sport mirror pockets.
No antenna grommet (an easy fix to add) so I remove my aerial when in use.
Not a heavy duty extended outdoors cover but fits well for my inside storage needs.

Thanks guys for the replies, love the fit of that OER cover, I will be checking them all out.

Inside only or outside? For the last 13 years I have used covers on my ‘69 short stepside. Outside only, and the Texas sun is hard on covers… Pro tip on a stepside, you need something to protect the corners of the cover on the rear. I have some 8” pieces of wood closet hanger rod that I screwed a tennis ball cut in half to. This slips in the back of the bed and saves the cover. Without this, the cover is wiped out after the first rain. Also, on my truck I build a wooden platform that sits on the bed rails to keep the cover from becoming a swimming pool. This will also make the cover last MUCH longer. I think my most recent cover is from carcovers.com. I have had covers from carcover.com as well, and I think the (s) covers are better FWIW. I have had at least 4 covers and maybe 5 in that time. They are worth whatever they cost.

I like that OER one, too. But when I needed one in a hurry (moving) I ordered one of these off Amazon and it was there the next day and cheap like borscht. Cotton on the inside, the fitment is good - not too loose or tight - it would definitely be good enough for indoors.
