i picked up a 100% rust free 1986 4x4 crew cab dually in California this summer while visiting my grandparents, and drove it back to Nebraska. it is parked in the barn for the winter, and i have plans of tearing it down and doing a rust prevention based restoration next summer. my barn is by no means a sealed environment, and I'm looking for a cover to protect it mainly from the cats, coons, opossum, mice, or other rodents that might think of it as a nice home for the winter. i found one when i was searching a few months back, and i think it was intended for everything up to and including nuclear fallout, and was like $600. that's not what I'm looking for. i was hoping to find something in the $100-$200 range, i realise that this takes a lot of fabric, but i wouldn't imagine there being that much size difference in all the big three manufactures crew cab long box dual rear wheel trucks.
if anybody has a line on a good quality cover at a reasonable price, please let me know. if i had my choice id like to see one made from something like canvas tarp fabric. i know that would be rough on the finish, but this truck has nearly 30 years of sun fade and oxidation on the paint already.
