Anybody have any fab ideas??
I was thinkin about doing something with the cab but still keep it street legal since i payed a good bit for this truck not too long ago and have alot of money in it. I was thinking maybe building a roll cage off of the door pillars or something like that but any ideas on something else would be nice.

Are you looking for armor/safety ideas? I'm not a structural engineer but I think for a roll cage to be more then just for looks your going to want to go to the frame rail rather then just pillars. Here's a list of threads on roll cages. If none of those answer your question try searching "roll cage" over at Race-Dezert.com. There's lots of roll cage threads over there.
If your looking for suggestions on stuff to build, design a nice roof light rack that can slide into your bed until you need it offroad. Actually build two, one for me and one for you.
oh and nice truck!

It's too late for a rollbar!
I think your choices are... find a good condition cab and replace it or take it to a good body shop and have them repair/replace back to new. You can replace the front fenders with junkyard parts or some fiberglass replacements. The bed? Either replace with a good junkyard one or flatbed it. Bumpers? Replace with some good offroad ones.
OR find a truck that has the engine trashed and put your in it.
OR part it out and buy something else.

Cut the roof off and build you a roll cage so you soft top it similar to a jeep then half your doors after that like most have said flat bed it and have yourself a nice toy.
