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. :great:

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.

Ouch. Thats all I have to say...:dj:

well i plan on making something with it since itll cost alot to repair and if i could find a cab at a decent price i would but im kinda limited in the $$ department so for now im choppin the top then i guess ill go from there. I'll post pics as i go.

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.
