I don't have a picture, but mine is a nice WOLF it's made of evolution 4 fabric, very soft & breathable, & it's custom fit for a 67-72 with a cowl inductuon hood, fits very nice, shows the outline/shape of the truck when it's covered, nice & tight.

I totally agree!. My dad has one for his 70' and it's awesome

The cheapest price I have found is at Summit. They used to be about $170 but recently shot up in price.

I dont recommend them. They can hold moisture under them. It may not be a problem indoors with climate control. I bought a 63 deuce that was totally covered with surface rust, from a cover being put on it for years. Just my honest opinion.

If you buy a nice one with good breathable fabric, it won't trap moisture under it, another thing I love about mine is when I do decide to drive the truck, when I pull that cover off it's all shiney & clean with practically no dust at all. Without the cover i'd have to wash the truck alot more often, I like driving it alot more then washing it

Note to self: Don't put cover on truck immediately after washing, or a rain storm.

I have covers on the tree50 and the Z and really like them. You have to have one that will breathe so any moisture can get out. I would be interested in one for my truck. Show us some pics!!

dmsteele92831 · 08-14-2007, 07:13 PM

Mine is wolf also. However I have the old big mirrors and it ended up ripping on the passenger side at the seam. Luckily my mom used to be a seamstress so she is going to add some waterproof fabric so it fits better.

ChevyDude · 08-14-2007, 07:33 PM

OK...everyone likes WOLF!!! COOL!!! Can we see a pic or two of your WOLF covered truck? LOve to see how it fits the cowl hood!

71chevylowrider · 08-14-2007, 08:32 PM

I will take a picture tonight guys,

I went outside and looked, both of the covers we have are Covercraft Noahs. They fit well but I don't know how well one for a truck would fit.

**Tim Christian** · 08-14-2007, 08:50 PM

I have the Covercraft Noah on my 67 and it fits great!!!

see ten · 08-14-2007, 08:54 PM

Tim when we were in Maggie valley we were talking about how water pooled up in the back when it rained. I saw something at Wal Mart Sunday that should solve that. Back in the section with the boating supplies they have a little expandable pole with a flat base that's made to keep water from pooling up on a boat cover. I see no reason why it wouldn't be the ticket for the back of a pickup. I think they were right at $10.

chevydog66 · 08-14-2007, 11:47 PM

I got one from "Budge" for my 66 Chevelle. $50 from NAPA, but I don't know if they make em for our trucks.

dan42 · 08-15-2007, 01:51 AM

Thanks for the info - I just ordered one from Summit!

dan42 · 08-15-2007, 04:52 PM

Yeah, I ordered it and it was a wolf - It's not supposed to ship until the first, but I'll take a picture and post it on this thread - $195.00 shipped.

71chevylowrider · 08-15-2007, 07:33 PM

I took photo's of my 71 with the wolf cover on it, brought my camera to work to post it for you & I accidently brought the wrong USB cable so I can't upload the pic's today, I'll try to get it right tomorrow.

71chevylowrider · 08-22-2007, 04:41 PM

Here's my truck with it's blankey on, please excuse my messy storage shed.

c10addict · 08-22-2007, 05:07 PM

I buy only California car covers for my rides.. They are very nice, have a very soft backing and fit great. www.calcarcover.com

they are a little more pricey but are worth it..
