    I need to go get a 2001 T2000 Kenworth the truck does not have the top cap. Can I do this with a double drop deck without oversize permits.

    You need to measure the truck, should work. Most decks are 18 to 22 inches high. Stacks will probably nedd to be removed

    Stack is below the cab so that shouldn't be an issue. At what height is it considered to be oversize.

    If it doesnt have the top cap, it should be 12'4 or lower.

    Make sure you pull in the mirrors on the truck your hauling or they'll pop you for over width.

    No problem. We were going to pull the fairing off an '05 T2000 to get it on a RGN but on decided on a tow truck instead.
