Been hectic lately-got a lot of parts for the truck but havent had the time-maybe this Saturday-gotta a lot to do to it too! Anyway, the other day it rained all day long and after it stopped I checked the inside of the truck on the floor-NO WATER! So even with the hood popped up a little I have eliminated the water leak it seems-so it was the entire firewall AC box seal that was the culprit-it particular the foam seal around the heater core inlet/oulet tubes that had shrunk/deteriorated to the point that water would get right past them and saturate the firewall sound deadening jute backing and leak onto the floor. Now it's on to the 88-91 front end conversion for ole 'Shorty! I have the rest of my seat/console install yet to come too-I have pics just gotta upload/post them!
