Water Leak in cab??

Post by 1stTimeFordOwner »

I have a 1967 Ford F100 Ranger I purchased a few months ago. I removed the carpet to repair some rust in the floor pans, I noticed when it rains I get a small leak from behind the firewall cover that runs down into the floor pans. Any ideas on where this leak is starting and how do I repair?
Thank You!!

Mine was leaking where the wiper arm shaft penetrated the firewall. Gasket had deteriorated and you could see the leak with a flashlight through the glove box door when the box was removed and someone sprayed water on the outside of the cab.

They actually make reproduction gaskets for these things.
Look at all the suppliers catalogues.

Could also be leaking inside the cowl area which is prone to rust out
