I need a little advise from anyone that transports a two meter plane in a pickup truck without a cap.



I'm considering purchasing a pickup truck with a 6.6 foot box and flat hard cover over the box, a cap is not in consideration. Currently, I transport an Etude and looking to add an Invitation next year. 



I test fit my Etude this evening in a F-150 with a hard cover over the box and the clearance was extremely tight with the canopy on.  Once the canopy was removed is was workable. I do not have an Invitation to trial fit but I'm guessing with the T Can and
 taller fuselage this may prove to be a problem, but I'm only guessing here.



Any thoughts or experience would be helpful.



Thanks fellas
