Truck covers

I'm looking to purchase a lighy duty truck cover for my truck to keep things clean.It will be an interior cover,just to keep dust and such off of it.If any of you guys have any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated. It's a 68 short stepside. Thanks

Re: Truck covers

I recommend California Car Covers. They arent cheap but they have some really nice covers. I have one from my 94 fullsize & plan on ordering one for the 72 soon.
I am actually using the one from my 94 on my 72 now it fits with the exception that the mirror pockets are in the wrong location.

Re: Truck covers

Bought one at pep boys it was cheep but fit nice because I have no outside mirrors. Less than $50.00 but all I use it for is to keep the dust off.

Re: Truck covers

Thanks for the responses, I've seen the California Custom ones, nice, but a bit pricey, and I'll check out the Pep Boy's one also. Thanks

Re: Truck covers

I got a Cali. cover for Christmas and it is awesome. It was pricey but well worth the investment! It will last me for a long time!

Re: Truck covers

2nd for JC whitney
Mine is 3 years old and works very well
Saves a ton of wear and tear from just walking by the truck and I no longer have to wash the truck every week in the summer
