Dodgeb4ya Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I too have though about one for my FB 4 tonner. cab only of course. I would think PU trucks are fairly close in size and design? I have California Car Covers on some of my cars and they were great for some custom fitting. I would have them make one if I go ahead.

I'd be interested if you do have one made.... then I could put hay back in my barn and get a couple more cows. LOL The black plastic sitting on the paint, traps the moisture and peals the 67 year old paint. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I had one from California Car Covers that fit pretty good. I only wished that it had mirror pockets. After a few years of use it got a couple of rips in it. One from the hood ornament poking through the front. I ordered a replacement and asked for extra material to reinforce that spot. I also asked for extra material to make mirror pockets. They gladly accommodated me, and even offered that they would sew in mirror pockets if I marked it out and sent it back to them. I never got around to doing that, and now it has an indoor living space, so I don’t use it anymore. I would highly recommend California Car Covers.

We get a couple dairy bull caves for about 18 -24 months every couple years.... Two years ago Julie told me Trucks OR cows... but I think I can do both. (The trucks will always out number the cows) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggdad1951 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Maybe its BUDGE...dunno....name on the front and I ignore it! Best I can do for now. It's a generic truck cover, not specific to the B series trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks Mark...I've never seen a PU under a cover! I'd like to do just a nice fit cab cover only as there is no need to cover a flatbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I was going through some pictures in my computer and found this one. Not the best to show overall fit. I think I took this to show CCC why it needed mirror pockets. You can sort of see in the picture how it fits the cab rather well. I used this in the summer months because it would sit in my driveway, so I could get my motorcycle in and out of the garage easier. Now that I have moved, and have a larger garage, it gets to stay inside now. I cut up a couple tennis balls and screwed them to pieces of dowel that I would slide into the top bed roll to soften the corners at the back. And that held well, but after about 3 summers of use the hood ornament started to poke through. This is why I wanted to reinforce that area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgeed Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I just use an old, thick, blanket - type cotton cover that I used to use on a '50's sedan. It drapes like a blanket, keeps the dust off, and is easy to toss into the bed. In fact, I hide the tool box under it while at Cars & Coffee so no one goes into the cab to steal that. ???

48Dodger Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I used a cover for a 1972 Charger on my 50 truck and it fits....but I'm not super picky either about that sort of thing. 48D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcdowel Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I bought a Budge Lite off Amazon.....I used it as a dust cover for in my garage, but u can get outside quality too and it fits great. Its for the long bed, standard cab up to 228 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
