I would check out any minivan or delivery van to see how they match up to your truck, and then check out covers for that vehicle. ------------------------------------------------I have no hoops on my SC at the present time, so, I am going to make a custom break-down frame to match the cab height, that will allow me to use a bus cover on it. If you are covering it for winter storage this might work out for you too! Embarassed Just looked at your ads! Not much of a winter in your area!

what about a cover made for one of those Sprinters? I think they are a dodge, but they are the really tall vans that you can stand up in. A friend has one and if they made a cover for it I think it would fit. Of course, nothing is really going to fit great with the height change between the cab and the canvas. By the way, lets see some pictures of the tilt installed!

It might fit better if he had a roof rack up front and if that was not tall enough, something could be put in to make up the difference.
