Water Leak

When it rains I'm getting water in the driver's side and it collects in the floor. It must be coming from under the cowling, because there's no evidence of it leaking in around the windshield or the door. Is there a problem spot in the cowling that allows rainwater to get into the interior? Maybe a drain that's plugged up somewhere? Anyone ever fixed this problem before?

I have a crack in my A-pillar where the roof sheetmetal joins the cowl. Water comes in there that puddles on the floor.

try siting in it and have some one spray the truck with a water hose and then you might see where the water is comeing in from. take your hand and run it around all the windows and the sides of the doors.

I'm told a common problem is trash collecting in the drains for the cowl air intakes. There are rubber plugs in the firewall behind the inner fender where you can access the drain area.
