The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Cover for '41 1 1/2 ton

Anyone know where i can find a cover for my '41 1 1/2 ton stake bed. Just need something for the cab

Thanks

If you just need a dust cover use old bed sheets. That's what I use for my '56.

Yea, but he is in the rust belt, perhaps some waterproof cover with ventilation.

Is this for indoor or outdoor storage?

Indoor storage

My 39 has indoor barn storage. I cover it with old bed sheets over the winter. Keeps the dust/grime off and doesn't mar/scratch/stain the paint.

My son's 1946 2 ton.

His truck is stored indoors all year.

What we did is bought a set of 100% cotton king size bed sheets. Was going to get the flannel but the sold out.

Any we cover the cab with the mattress cover because the sewn in elastic comes down over the door handles, side view mirror, and top door hinges.

We then cover the front with the flat sheet. From bumper to the cowl. We then tuck under extra material under the elastic of the fitted sheet to keep the flat sheet in place.

Then we drape over the whole front of truck from the cab to the bumper with about old light tarp to protect the sheets because sometimes a cat would like to sleep on the hood. Don't ask why the cat does that because the truck is not run everyday. Jeffrey

I have seen guys use an army surplus parachute as a truck cover. Just a thought.
