truck cover, what do you use?

[jekbrown]

when my rig is doorless/topless/gateless I'd like to have a cover on it to keep dirt/sap/birdpoop/bug-crap/rain etc out of the interior when its sitting in the driveway. I figure any cover for a shortbed chevy truck would prolly work... question is, who makes a good inexpensive cover? I know there are $200 covers out there that will work, but I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. what do you guys use? where'd ya get it?

tia!

Just a big plastic tarp. 13.99 at the local hardware place and I can throw it away when it gets to beat up.

ok, maybe I should add one qualification... i live in a rented place and Im right next to a snooty rich-people housing development and so I dont want the cover to be all ghetto / white-trash style.

ok, any new suggestions? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'll check out pepboys...

<font color="red"> im making one out of 1/8" aluminum to cover the bed and back of the cab. im just using the caps bolts to hold it down. the cab section will fold down and im using 1/8" lexan to make a nice window that will fold/slide straight down when u want some air circulation...i'll post pics when i finish it. </font>
