Door seals? Window ? Heater core? Where are you finding the water ?
3rd brake light???

Well it's not heater coil for certain. I ripped off the trim under the windshield wipers and everything I could off the front and flooded everything up there and all I could find was a very small leak. Then before I quit I sprayed off the back glass and it started flooding in the cab. Changing the sliding back glass tomorrow. An now I need another carpet for the damn thing. This truck has made me happier and madder than anything I have ever dealt with.
An the water is everywhere but it accumulates in either side in the front foot.
I'd also recommend replacing the 3rd brake light seal, as I have read where that too can cause leaks over time
I bought one here:

3rd Brake light! Mine was also leaking until I replaced it. Problem solved for short money.
I appreciate all the tips and advice. As far as vents go I done away with them when i cut out the cab and body for the blow through, and I changed the third brake light to a new led one and there is foam all in that cavity now. So I've got my fingers crossed that it is the sliding back glass. Changing to a solid back glass hopefully tomorrow.
So the cab has zero vents?
Currently no I'm planning on moving them after I get the speakers like I want them. May have to modify it just a tad to get it like i want it
After searching here for "Cab Vents" I have seen where others have done this to reduce noise in the cab. The drawback they report is closing the doors with the windows up is more difficult. Van, I know what you are doing this for, and good you are relocating them, and not sealing them up for good. Just a personal preference, as I'd keep mine in place.

the vents are there to help protect your ears if the air bags go off.

There was a tech tip years back. the drain hose on the firewall for the a/c, heater box, requires a bit of sealant around it. It took me a bit to find the leak in my truck but that's what it was. The floor pan was flooded every time it rained. I wouldn't have thought that much water could have gotten in.
Thanks for the help gentlemen. Couldn't hurt to check the drain for the ac neither I suppose. I'll be back with her this afternoon I'll definitely keep everyone posted on what comes from this endeavor. Man it has been a battle but I ain't giving up.
