Fixing cab roof/drip rail rust? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yesterday I started by removing the cracked and foggy windshield from my truck to find I have bigger problems than I thought

.

This damage on the bottom I'm going to fix today and I shouldnt have any problem with.

But I'm worried about how to fix this.

Not only is the windshield lip rusted off but the A pilliar is bad for about 2" and the rust goes though to the inside roof in a small section. Not to mention the roof is rusted through and seperated from the drip rail in a couple of spots.
How do I go about fixing this? Do I need to cut through the inner roof and fix the outer and then fix the inner with this?

Or am I just screwed

Thanks in advance.
