I had a convertible ranger....it was cool. There was a company that made a kit so you could cut the top off, add some plastic trim and some clamps and it would clamp back on...was pretty neat!
I only owned that truck so I could remove the engine, but the removable roof was cool.

It does not cost anything to remove all the rust and have a look see. My fear is that with that rust showing, the metal inside and behind it is gone too......... So yeah maybe best to swap cabs. On a Ranger the cab is not very big so its not the "hugest" job ever. Having the cab separated from the truck gives you alot of options also....about how to fix or replace the rust and makes adding a v8 way easier with NO CAB

But as we said, removing rust to have a look at the extent of the rot is free, just elbow grease.
