Re: car covers tarps
Bought several of them for the Ranchero through the years. Beware of a few of them as they will actually hold the moisture under the cover promoting rust!
Most have a small "slit" that is reinforced for the antenna. One I bought was a "cut your own hole" for the antenna that came with a small piece of material for reinforcing after the hole was cut.
Sorry i can't help with a certain cover for our trucks though...

Re: car covers tarps
The main thing is to get one that breaths. Mom has always used a cover on her 87 Buick LaSabre she bought new. Covered, Carported, and still looks new . Oh ya, a zipper for the driver's side door helps. Last one Vicki and I bought her cost around $150. and has lasted for years. I will try and dig up where we got it.
May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.
