We are finishing up a 1957 F600 dump bed dually for a client and they have requested a canvas cover. It is the original company delivery truck. They would like it for the 50th Anniversary Party unveiling but the truck will mainly be a parade vehicle and will be in storage quite a bit. Does anyone know who would be able to provide a canvas cover that size? And fairly quickly. Thank you.

 

You'll have to have it custom made and you'll have to provide all the measurements.

You do not want a canvas cover, as it'll scratch the paint. Plus, canvas is very heavy, will be somewhat EZ to remove the cover, but a pain in the backside to put it back on.

Covercraft is the largest manufacturer of car/truck covers: covercraft.com

btw: The patch on Levi's shows two horses attempting to tear them apart. Levi Strauss began his career as a tailor in Placerville CA during the gold rush.

He "mined" the miners by providing them with clothes that lasted a long time and were almost impossible to rip or tear, as he made them from sail canvas...which was cheap and very EZ to obtain, because...

There were over 10,000 ships abandoned in San Francisco Bay, as the crews had deserted, headed for the gold fields.
