It runs down past the vents and out a whole in each side. You might be able to see them if you look inside the fender but I think they originally had a rubber flap covering them. Run some water down and take a look-see.

We'd all love to see some pics too.

Thereby, it's important to make sure the factory drain openings thru out the cab, doors, pillars, etc. are free of dirt and debris. Posting a link to ddavidv's website on topic may find helpful. f100rust

Open the air vents inside the cab and use an inspection mirror to look down in the bottom of the air plenum. You should see a rectangular drain hole. But don't be too surprised if it is plugged by debris. I got everything from old cigarette packs to fountain pens out of mine.
