Ok, put new window felt in and it helped a good bit but I still have water when i get in the truck after a rain. One side is worse than the other. I have new door seals so I hope that is not the problem, it looks and feels like I have a tight seal all the way around (still hard to close). It appears that some water is coming in at the hing hole just under the dash on both sides. Any ideas?

Yep, but it’s a bit off the wall. I would think that I would need to see how the water is getting in (I’m visual and ****) so if water can get in air or smoke can get out, right? Pressurize the cab somehow with compressed air and introduce colored smoke (agent) of some kind into the cab and see where it comes out, might take a lot of air volume but not that much pressure? Might have to tape up obvious/normal air leaks. I think dealerships/body shops do something like this to find air leaks? 
Or use a garden hose from the outside and force water until you get an inside river?
