is this fixable?

the short answer is a new roof...
what you could try though is to pull the windshield, sandblast the rusted areas(the hole will become bigger after that, the rust is on the inside and after blasting you will find pin holes all theway to where the rust ends.) cut out all the rusted metal, and then fabricate a patch out of sheet metal.
It helps to use a thin pice if cardboard, or really thick paper to make a template of your hole before you cut out a sheet metal patch.

This is the best way to do it. If you just blast it out, then bondo it back in, the nightmare will return sooner than later. A little more work, but its worth it in the end to cut and weld.

Great advice Jon, I use the piece of metal I cut out as a template if possible. It has worked well so far. The hole will be twice the size it is now once blasted. That has been my experience so far.

If it looks that bad there, how is the rest of the cab? Are the floors shot?
