I have no idea how it happened, only that I was not happy to see how small it was when I tried to put it on. It took me forever to buy one after letting the truck go down after sitting under trees all the time and then to find out it was that short. Go Figure!!!!!

The cover that I ordered came from CarCoversFactory.com I don't know how they did that. I had to take a measurement this time from bumper to bumper for them.

I’m late to the party and I’ve posted this one in another thread last weekend when I took it. Cruising the Ozark mountains on the way to C10’s in the mountains.
