I thought that was a polar bear in your avatar for a second there.It was black ice.. he clearly states that... in other words, the roads were all fine.....except this one spot.
Give the guy a break!
His insurance would have been jacked as shit. He's young and already paying too much anyway.You should have reported it , as long as you have collision you'd be alright. You likely would not be at fault due to road conditions and your truck would be repaired or you'd get a pay out. May I ask which road you are on?
TO THE OP. Yeah, you can just jack up the roof if it's not too bad. Or at least you can on older Rangers, my brother did it to his. Other than that most junkyards wont charge too much for a roof section. Call around and get some prices. Find someone with a welder and weld it in. That way it can be purdy again. Junk trucks can be bought whole for 200-300 dollars (US) around here. You might be able to find a clean one of those and swap cabs, and have parts left over as backup.
Is the damage just on the roof, sides, hood, or everything? If you have damage to the hood I'd replace that before driving it. The wind might catch under it and rip your latch, smashing the hood into your new windshield.
