I woulda just bent the cab back out and put a rollcage in it. Either that or get a new cab and rollcage or exo.

I'd say new cab and exo or internal cage. It would suck to wheel in the rain in a buggy or convertible.

just swap the cab out. or, depending on how much of your stuff is just bolt on, move everything to the new truck. I hear a cab swap can be a pain. I caged mine just because i could. it definately limits damage and draws a few looks, but it isnt for everyone. I am too tall to fight an internal cage. I rode with shannon in tacozilla and made my mind up then that I couldnt deal with an internal cage. If you do swap cabs out cut the floor out of pinkasaurus. I need to replace the floor on my truck due to rust!

replace the cab and put a cage in it. Exo cages bring the ghey to the party.

Ya i think its a little too boxy as well, but I liked the concept and was thinking of doing something like it, then happened to see it posted on another forum yesterday. you got pics of roland's truck? i like the idea of less work to get er done, but still want to be enclosed on those f'n cold ass january jambos.
I've got just about everything stripped off the donor cab

I'll have to dig some up. the current version of his rig is pretty much a buggy w/ toy fenders and hood, but really well done. I've got some shots of it on my memory card from the wheelers for wishes event that show it in it's prior version, which would be cool on your rig.

If your going to paint the damn think pink again just cage it and keep the animals inside.
I could use some cut out pieces of the floor pans and maybe the firewall. LMK
