i second that.
I found one nib at a swap meet for 20 beans its for a later model truck but it fits great except the mirror pockets witch it came with another set of pockets that could be sewed on anywhere you need'em. i'll have wc jr's that fold in so i'm not worried about it.

the ccc's are real thick and very durable but i've havent used it outdoors like your planning too. also i'm guessing new they are very pricey.

somehow i found one for the camaro thats also for a later model camaro that fits great on mine at a swap meet cheap i'm just lucky i guess.

Re: Car Cover Recommendations

using one outdoors is pretty much a waste of time and add to that the damage they do to the finish with wind whipping it around loses any advantage you think you get

Agreed...u sound like a man with some experience with that. I know I am; any type of car cover shouldn't touch the finish...like a car shelter/tent

Thumbs up Re: Car Cover Recommendations

I agree if you park outside don't waste money on a cover. I did and regret it!

When it's outside under a cover and it rains are worse freezing rain your screwed! Take my word for this and do not put it under a cover.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
