Truck Cover - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PLavelle · 12-13-2004, 06:43 PM

Anyone know of a good cover I can buy for my truck? Its been sitting in the garage since my engine gave up and I would like to give it a little more protection.

Thanks,
Pete

Indoor Cover - Wallyworld, It May Be Cheap, But For Indoors Who
Cares, It Fits Pretty Good And Does Not Scratch Anything, My $.02

(My cover is actaully for a caprice classic, had a 96 SS, wife sold it )

Will your cover fit a long fleet? Thanks for the PIC.

HMMM, NOT SURE, YOU COULD TRY FINDING DIMENSIONS ON A 96 IMPALA
SS AND SEE HOW CLOSE IT IS TO A LONG FLEET'S DIMENSIONS, IF I HAD
TO GUESS I WOULD SAY NO, IT BARELY COVERED MY 67 SWB DRAG TRUCK
I USED TO HAVE, HOWEVER THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE BIGGEST COVER THEY
MAKE, THEY MIGHT HAVE A LARGER SIZE, NOT BAD FOR $3O, I THINK THAT
IS WHAT I PAID FOR IT, BOUGHT IT IN 96 WHEN MY WIFE BOUGHT HER SS.

I have a few covers from Walmart for inside the barn. The #4 size will fit but it is tight and a little shorter on the sides. The #5 size fits better and mine are all longbeds

Kimberly-Clark makes a really nice cover. They will fit a long fleetside perfect.
I have one for my truck - just no pic of it.

Thanks to Luv and Solver for advise on Wally elcheapo covers. I am in need of a couple.

Hate to ask but is Wally World a reference to Wal-Mart?

Yup, just like Tar'ge (Target) "the French walmart"

*PS, like I said above, those covers are only good for indoor use, they
will leak like a siv on you if you try them outdoors, trust me I know.

PLavelle · 12-14-2004, 07:35 PM

Jim, where did you get the Noah so cheap? I found one online for $216 plus shipping.

Blue Beard · 12-14-2004, 11:22 PM

Just received a Eckler's catalog.....they have the short bed cover at $199.99, the longbed at $219.99
