Truck Cover

Hey fellas. I am looking for some opinions on truck covers. I really need something that is pretty water tight. Thanks for the help. By the way, I am talking about the whole truck cover, not just a bed cover. Thanks again.

Re: Truck Cover

I'm guessing you mean something like this. Thats my 67 long fleet in hiding under there. Its a waterproof breathable cover and it's certainly kept my leaky cab dry inside this winter and the bed wood. It does puddle in the back as it's not specifically made for a truck, what I've done to stop that is put a couple of boards across the bed underneath the cover with closed cell foam to protect the paint and it helps greatly. Can't help you with a supplier though as I'm the worng side of the atlantic!

Re: Truck Cover

The best cover I have ever seen is the NOAH model made by Wolf industries. Summit racing (part number WLF-173-13234) has the best price around!. California car cover sells it also for over $100 more.
Here are the links:

I highly recommend this as water will not penetrate it and it gives full side coverage and most of the wheels.

Re: Truck Cover

Careful it can become sandpaper on the painted finish. the wind can make it rub where you don't think it will.
