With that much damage I'd be tempted to weld in a brace from the firewall to the back of the cab, close to the floor. You can easily use the hinge points and striker mounts to do what you want, they're the strongest points of the cab. I'm concerned about the floor flexing when things are moved around in your rotisserie.
