I need to cover my 42 pickup for winter but all the covers now are made for crew cabs and short boxes.  Can anyone tell me where to get a good soft cover to protect a classic pickup from winter weather ? Thank you

There was a company "California Car Covers".
I don't know if they are still around.
Or.... you can cover the truck with old bed sheets and comforters then put a tarp on.
Plastic tarps are junk. Buy a good canvas tarp.

Thank you Jarvis. I have been using plastic tarps until now but I thought I might be able to do something better this year. Thanks again

Probably a guy that makes marine covers could make you one to fit. I'm not sure what fabric what would be the best to use . I had a California Car Cover 35 years ago for a 55 Chev and it was the best. They are still in Business and sold by Beverley Hills Motoring Accessories . Sit down when you look at prices today. beverlyhillsmotoring.com/collections/car-covers

I had a huge sheet of thick plastic like they use to cover boats and without really giving it much thought, I cut a pattern to fit and sewed the whole thing to fit and it fit perfectly. Then my neighbour reminded me that moisture would be trapped inside. I wasted a lot of time on that. So now I'll sit down, as you recommend, and look at California covers. No harm in looking. Thank you RWW.
