'67 swb truck cover question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The Big Green · 05-25-2009, 02:31 PM

I just got my truck back and my backhalfed, last night it rained. I got a cheap Wallmart $23 car cover. It fits but I knew it would leak, sure enough it did. It of course held water above the bed and weighted it down and dripped thru on my frame, tank, and compressor. I want a good one that won't leak. Wouldn't they all hold water over the bed and leak? I found some on LMC Truck, the best one was $170. Any more places to get them, maybe cheaper? I thought about a storage biulding. There's a 10x20 down the street for $95 monthly.

Can't help you on the car cover. But that $95 10x20 sounds like the best protection to me. Probably be a pain to have to head out there every time you want to do something though.

I plan on driving the truck a lot, but the storage biulding I had in mind is only a mile away. My trucks in a Etching Primer at the moment and it's not a protector.

I have one from WOLF car covers and it is waterproof....

Don't buy the L M C one I did and sucks it leaks and doesn't fit right.

I'm renting a storage building tomorrow. I'll still get a cover but storage is my best bet for now. $95, but no rain at all, doesn't sit on wet ground with water splashing up. I can get a cover but rain still get the underneath soaked.
