Truck cover

My '53 3100 is newly painted, sure needs a cover for the dust. Never sits outside, just dusty. Any suggestions?

Re: Truck cover

California car cover company has always had one of the best reps for car covers be it a Ford Falcon or a Ferrari. They aren't cheap but you can choose one that exactly suits your purposes.

They have gone up in price since I looked at them last and not cheap might now be slightly expensive https://www.coveranything.com/car-co...t-truck-683748

I've seen car covers at Walmart for different size cars for about 50/75 bucks They may have something that fits The truck that will work fine for indoors. It will fit like a 5x hoodie on a 110 lb kid but it may do everything you want. You want one that covers the truck but doesn't trap moisture.

Re: Truck cover

I also use California Car Cover for my cars/truck, but I just googled top 5 car covers and got all kind of information. Try it out!

Re: Truck cover

I've had a gray 'Plushweave' indoor Cal Car cover for many years, excellent. Soft flannel lined against paint. Recently bought same cover in black just for a change. Don't think it's expensive compared to what I've got in my truck.
