looking for a good truck cover...

Can anyone suggest a good cloth or polypropylene cover that is made to fit 67-72 trucks...???

Would like to upgrade from the plastic tarp and bungee cords I'm currently using...

thanks

I got a generic suburban cover from one of the auto stores. It works fine. Then I ordered one from California Car Covers that was made to fit my 69 Galaxie. What a difference! It fit like a glove.

I'll second the California Car Cover suggestion. I have one for my '57 Bel-Air and it also fits like a glove.

I have a cover made by Wolfe. It has stood up great, it has been on my truck outside everyday for the past 3 1/2 years including a couple winters when it was covered in snow for 6 months.

I think it came from Summit. I got it for a gift.

thanks for the replies... had a look at both brands, looks like they've got a large selection of fabrics for various applications, should be something in there that will do...
