Everyone does!Were you getting a leak under the dash? I just ran into this problem.
When I say everyone I mean everyone with a square body, not just every car.Crazy, but this is the first vehicle in over 40 years where I have! Usually it is around a window or a rubber seal...

Well is that 3/5? Still not good odds. And if you had those trucks today would they still not leak? There are several factors, climate, salt in the area, was it kept in a garage or a shed the first 20 years so it slowed the progression was it parked under trees and allowed to plug up and was never cleaned out?I've had several squarebodies that didn't leak a drop from the entire firewall/cowl/windshield area. Only three so far that did leak.

I think it's safe to say most to all will leak at some point?
on the bed, did you run tape along the seam or did you just free hand it? I'll be doing this in the next few days is why I ask.Any good automotive seam sealer will work u just have to find where it is comin in.i just went though this wth my 84 cleaned old caulk from firewall and cowl panel. Applied 3m seam sealer. Where the vent is on passenger side u have to stick your hand up and follow the seam down and seal it cause it will run down and sit under the heater core seam and and Eventually rot a hole in the seam. So I ran a bit of sealer inside the vent where the water comes down from the cowl. I would check the seam behind the heat box . Good luck
Probably used the seam sealer in the tube that you apply with a caulk gun.on the bed, did you run tape along the seam or did you just free hand it? I'll be doing this in the next few days is why I ask.
Thx
Interested in how you did the cab cornersMe too. Cab corners and below the trim on one box side.
It's been 13 years and still looks brand new.
