My 1953 GMC longbed has to share space with my wood shop so I'm trying to find an inexpensive cover that sort of fits. Any suggestions?

Truck inside? Sew old bed sheets together and use it as a cover. Keeps the dust off, breathes, washable, won't scratch/stain, light weight and inexpensive. Better use for the old sheets than cutting them up for rags.

That is what I use for the '56. I didn't sew them, I use spring clamps.

If your shop is heater where condensation is not going to be issue .......it would go with plastic sheeting ( "drop cloth") .......cloth and saw dust can be a poor mix.

I wouldn't do this. Plastic can easily turn dust particles into paint scratches.
