I always thought a soft top 4 door vit would look cool, well, without the top anyway. It sounds like a fair bit of work in any case.
PS, these may be helpful.

Just find another Vit and swap all your bits over. Cages are easier to build for the soft tops too

wow you smushed it good!
definitely look at doing a body swap - at least then you know all about the history of the mechanics of it rather than jumping into an all new vehicle.

dude, glad you're ok.... that could have been a lot worse!!!
i'd do as scrawn said, grab another vit put your good bits in it & then you could sell the bent off to someone wanting to re-power a sierra as a whole or part it out & get some cash back.
cars can be repaired, lives can't.
