I flopped mine this summer, and to fix the pillars we used a winch with 2 large straps to pull them back upright. Granted, it wasn't nearly as bad as yours, but we had it fixed in an hour, so with some work and maybe a little bit of money at the body shop, you can have it driveable in under a week, easy.
Then, since you might be worried about the strength of the pillars in case it should happen again, get a roll cage from Proffitt's Cruisers (should be out sometime this summer, sounds like).
Search under my name, you should be able to find the thread showing how we did mine.
Edit: I checked that thread, the pics aren't there anymore, so here you go:

....back in the saddle again....
Tis but a flesh wound! Come back and fight, you coward!
Seriously: if it were me, I'd hack the top off, get a rollcage, and use it as a trail rig.
Get ourself a cheap little fuel-sipping import for a DD.
The money you save on gas will pay for the extra insurance of having 2 cars.
Be happy! No more need to worry about your trail rig, and you've got a cheap, reliable way to get around.
Of course, when I was in college, I was too worried about having a 'cool' car to do something as smart as what I just recommended.... but in the long run, nobody *really* gives a damn about the car you drive.

A few hours with a hi-lift and some blocks of wood= driveable. That 60 isn't dead yet.
hey man sorry to here about your cruiser. YOu should probably get a little honda to dirve and push the top out with a hi-lift and wood blocks on the cruiser and wheel it. It will amaze you where you will take it with no fear of body damage.
Clutchee
I'm fun sized!
Glad to hear your OK.
Cut the top out & wheel it...you can't hurt it anymore.

Dude, that truck ain't dead yet. If (and that's a big if) you intended to have a truck that did nothing but street duty, one that was kept washed and waxed, then I'd say no worries, buy yerself another body and go to town swapping the bent caca out and repaint. I'm in UT, and there's no shortage of bodies around here. If you want to get in more serious about wheeling, this is the chance to try it all and make this truck into a buggy...
just my 2 cents...
