Water leaking into cab 88 dodge

I'm trying to find where water is getting into my cab. I'm guessing by the windshield or maybe below that? When it rains the drivers side floorboard is soaked. Am I missing a obvious spot? Thanks for any help

Cowl cracks... Check the sticky.
In my truck the seals on the outside of the door windows are gone. Water drips down the inside of the doors and collects around the weatherstripping and gets the carpet wet.

My pickup currently does the exact same thing.........water pools up around where the kickpanel & sill-plate meet. Kinda annoying, I just keep my pickup under cover until I have more time to fix it.

I have had two trucks that have rusted through under the dash. Straight up on the left side of the steering column. Put a light up the left side as far as you can, then when it is dark out or in a dark garage, look down through the cowl ribs. If there is a bunch of crud (dead leaves, sand, etc.) down there poke around and look for light.

You can also put the water hose on it and look under the dash to see where it might be getting in.
