My truck has to live outside at the moment as my puney little UK garage is way too small. Does anyone in the US make a waterproof fitted cover for a 67 C10? I'm not bothered about the bed but as my windshield leaks I want something to cover the cab. As the $/£ exchange rate is great at the moment it seems an ideal time to buy one.

Try California Car Covers.

Phew those are pricey, even with todays good exchange rate, once you add international shipping on its gonna be a deal breaker really. Anyone else, Ideally just looking for a cover for the cab not the bed as its the cab that leaks.

Nobody in the states makes a cover just for the cab of a truck. I know what you mean about those tiny british garages. I lived in Caversfield from '97 to 2000 and had a '58 Anglia in mine doing some work for a friend. Good luck on your search.

The best cover I have seen is the Noah model sold by many of the car cover dealers such as California covers and others. The best price I have seen is from Summit Racing. They sell a "custom fit" longbed Noah for $171.69. The model number is 173-13234. That is a smokin' price for a thick waterproof cover!. My dad uses this on his 70'.

I've managed to find a specialist in the UK that sells covers for US vehicles so my credit card is now somewhat lighter than it was this morning. This is a heavy duty breathable cover. Thanks for all your help guys.

Covercraft does, but not for these old trucks that I can find

I use the Wolf ,but we don't get very much rain .

In the end I went for a full cover that'll cover the bed as well as the cab, at least the wood floor will get some protection too. I guess I may have to put some boards across underneath it between the bed rails to stop it pooling in the back. Maybe I'll make up a light wooden/tube frame to give it a roof shape!
