I am looking for a truck cover - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am wanting to buy my dad a cover for his 72 for Christmas. He just needs a lightweight one that has a good lining so it wont scratch his paint. Its gonna be in the garage so it will just be a dust cover really but i still wanna get him a decent fitting cover. Any ideas on where to get one? Thanks..Greg

I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.
