From what I am reading it sounds like you should just get a new cab. If your frame rusted around the windshield, and rotted out the seam on the cowl, it sounds like most of the pinch weld and overlap seams are rotting apart. Not only does it not sound particularly safe or strong, but, if its that bad then even if you fix what you can see then every few months or years another place will likely let go from inside out....
