Truck tarp recomendations?

Looking for a quality tarp for my 59 GMC that will be outside during the North Dakota winter, so snow and lots of snow! Trying to keep the truck dry so it doesn't rust any more. Anyway let me know some tarps that have worked well for you guys.
Thanks.

Tarps a bad idea due to holding moisture in the car. Especially if they go to the ground.

A small shed over the truck would be most idea besides in a garage.

Just a thought but what about a rental storage unit? Place a large plastic sheet on the concrete and park the truck over the top of it. Plastic will prevent condensation from wicking up thru the concrete perhaps. Had to do similar with my 57 years ago while I was building my garage.

Agree, the tarp will trap moisture and more rust will be the result.

Even with a quality truck cover? I wouldn't think snow sitting in the bed and melting and then freezing is better than being covered?
