No truck covers John, but are you still planning on bringing “Ole Yeller” to the Grand?

John, LMC carries covers, this one is the 3000 mid grade, 3 layer synthetic and claims to be highly water resistant ..... my 49 F1 is always in the barn so I can't verify how water resistant it is.
Nice cover for under $100 bucks IMO.

I have a California car cover made pretty much semi custom I’d say. They start with something very accurate and can customize it to your needs. I had mine made longer and higher for stake sides, and they even added mirror pockets which makes putting it on and off even easier. The fabric is your choice depending on what your needs are. It’s pretty good , not totally water proof and somewhat easy on the paint. Truthfully all covers scratch paint especially outside where the weather is moving it around. I’ve decided it better to not use it, and I’ve gone in another direction in my current garage-less world. It does however come in handy for certain situations like covering indoors in dusty places or outside under certain conditions.

I bought mine from Mid Fifty. Custom fit for our slant cab trucks and also has mirror pockets. I can't vouch for how it would do outside as my truck stays in the garage when I'm not driving it. Good luck, Steve

I bought a couple through Costco when they were on sale. They were made by Cover King and cost around $119. Custom fit. I towed my 40 from San Diego to Nashville last year and had it covered with one of these covers without a tear or rip.
