Rollover damage

I recently rolled my '77 chevy pickup Sad

while playing offroad. The only damage was the top of the cab shifted abit(leans). Doors will close, but do not line up correctly and wether seals don't seal. Any ideas? Thanks.

If I was a smartass I'd say roll it the other direction this time..

You might check into your local body shop to see if they have a frame puller. It is amazing what can be done in a short period of time with a pull.

A porta power might be able to push it back out if its not too bad. Or at least get the inner structure straight and you could skin it.
