Car Cover??? Ok yall, I have a question. I need a cover for my 1931 closed cab wide bed pickup. I have it under a carport at the moment but I need an all weather cover to protect my truck in case of inclement or cold weather. Where can I Find such a cover without breaking the bank? I live on Hurricane Alley so i need to protect my truck from getting water in places I didn't know it had :rolleyes:

Re: Car Cover??? If possible I'd suggest closing in the sides of the carport. There are good quality car covers but they have their own problems like, poor fit for a Model A, abrasion when there's wind, and hiding what going on under that cover. Most of the A vendors carry covers that fit pretty well. Good luck.

Re: Car Cover??? I have bought several custom fit covers by California Car Cover. In my opinion they are outstanding. But remember quality has a higher price tag. Superior covers are not cheap.

Re: Car Cover??? I actually did close the sides but not the front and back with hardy plank. but the weather is so crazy here that the rain still comes in. I cant find an all weather cover for a closed cab pickup. I ordered one from Macs auto parts and they told me that their maker closed down and stopped production. so, now what?

Re: Car Cover??? I looked on their website and the cover I need from them is close to $600, I am saving up for a radiator and I can't afford a cover of that caliber. but I need one that will fit decent and provides good coverage.

Re: Car Cover??? Mikes A'ford'able is my supplier of choice, and I have had no luck. when I was talking to customer support, they told me that they don't sell an all weather cover for closed cab pickups:(

Re: Car Cover??? you are so right, I want a good cover, but i have to prioritize and get the radiator first. I scrap for a living, and my insurance is somewhat expensive because my truck is registered and titled as a daily. so money is tight at the moment;)

Re: Car Cover??? You might need to buy a large tarp to throw over the truck and weigh down or fasten properly on the ground at the edges.

Re: Car Cover??? Thanks Y'all, I appreciate all the advice. My budget is quite tight at the moment, so I suppose I will have to use the tarp method until I can scrape up enough to get the car cover my Sunny deserves :)

Re: Car Cover??? MMM Just a thought. With $$$ tight for you right now consider a roll up cover for front and back. I picked up a 10 footer for our patio for $100 at Home Depot. It is a mesh fabric so I'm not sure if you can find one (or two) with a solid fabric but worth a shot to search.

Also for longer storage put some moth balls or dryer sheets inside to help keep out mice etc. |

My A is garaged but I wanted a cover to keep the dust off. I got a very nice multilayer rain proof cover with a soft inner liner for my CCPU for $162. This is not one of those paper dust covers.
It is not a custom fit cover but it has elastic across the front and rear. The first one they sent me was way too large. They sent me a shipping label to return and then sent a second that was a much better fit. After looking at Cover Craft and California covers I was put off by the price. I am very happy with this cover. https://www.carcovers.com/covers/car...SAAEgK7m_D_BwE |
Re: Car Cover??? You say youre carport is closed in on 2 sides but not the ends. Go to tractor supply and buy a truck/trailer tarp and attach it to the open end of the carport. I used to get a heavy 'duck canvas' tarp for my small dumptruck for probably less than a $100. To me that would make more sense than covering the truck. Especially if you use it on a daily basis.
