Truck cover help

I’m looking to buy a cover for me 1949 f1 which do you all recommend, I hate that my truck stays clean for a week inside my garage and then gets all dusty I live out in the country so I’m sure that’s why and I’m thinking a cover would help. Thanks for your input! Pics and links welcome

Since my truck is not complete yet so I do not have a cover. For my other & previous vehicles I have always had them custom made by Cover King. I have the Satin Stretch currently and have also have had the Moving Blanket for vehicles that were used less frequently. When the truck is complete I will look into having these guys make one.

Same thing happens to my 54. If I keep my garage door open dust blows in and gets on the truck.

I use king size sheets. The fitted bottom sheet fits nicely over the cab. The flat sheet covers the hood and front clip. Sometimes I tuck the edge of the sheet under the wipers. I have started using a second fitted sheet to cover the bed. It fits perfectly on a 6 1/2 foot bed. And you can use the pillow cases to cover the stock mirrors if you have them.

Sheets on my 55 F350 flatbed when I stored it for the winter:



Pic of my 54. I have some magnets holding the sheet on.

I too live in the country and deal with dust. Truck is always inside the shop if I'm not driving it. Only cover it when it is hibernation for the winter.
I find that a few minutes with a California Duster is all that is needed to remove the dust.

Covered for the winter

I just covered my '54. I had it at a Cruise -in on Sunday and it was still clean so I thought I better cover it.
