I also had a 5-window with a torched up firewall and cut up dash but a good roof so I swapped the two. I followed Tom Brownell's instructions in his book "How to Restore Your Chevrolet Truck" and cut the cabs at the lead seam on the A-pillars "windshield post", and from rocket to rocker just in front of the seat riser. I then swapped the two and welded the good one back together.
