Anybody have any ideas where most leaks would come from? If it rains heavily, or I don't drive for a few weeks while it's raining, there's puddles inside the cab on the floor. It's causing a huge headache rust wise. Used to have room in my garage, now I've turned into a hoarder so that's a no go. Also causing a lot of mold and mildew.

I'm not seeing any water on the doors or above them, so maybe it's coming in through rusted out holes in the vents on the side of the cab?

Mine mostly puddles in the foot wells from rust leaks around the antenna, following the cable into the cab and from leaky wiper arms.

Leaky wiper arm seals are most common. Easy fix with a spark plug boot and some grease on each there is a thread aboutbitbhere somewhere

That most likely is it.. It floods the left side, and since I park in my sloped driveway, pools up in the back of the cab. Now it's getting all rusted out back there as well. I'll look into it. I should be able to see it dripping from under the dash, assuming there is water, right?

Yeah mine was hard to spot but I reached up and could feel the water on the wiper actuator arm.
I get a lot of water in mine in bad rain but I have bedliner instead of carpet so I'm not as worried about it. I have the stuff to fix it just haven't got around to it yet. Worse thing about it is the heat from my exhaust evaporates it and fogs my windows up bad.

No I used a roll on can. Wanted a bit more texture to it
Was a pain in the butt I used paint stripper to completely clean the floor to bare metal first. Also want about 6" up the walls all around. And i have leather seats so I can wet wash mud and such out without anything getting moldy

I have used Herculiner roll on bed liner after floor panel repairs on my 66 chevelle.

you can spray it if you thin it down but i wanted it on thick and wasn't chancing clogs in a new gun i would have to buy

It was a little messy that comes w/ working on vehicles has worked well looks good it its textured
