what is the best way to stop a leak in the cab

I just bought a 71 chevy and after a good rain both floor boards were wet. So I took the truck apart twice fenders and all but still have a leak on passenger side. It has after market air and is leaking somewhere around there. It is hard to get to because of the air intake. Just looking for good way to cure the problem. Thanks.

Welcome to the board.
It sounds like to me you have a breech in the cowl area and water is getting in through there.
What condition is the truck in?
Has it been previously restored or is it unrestored?

The condition of the truck is good not much rust at all. None in the cowl.

The only other way water could be getting in is if there is a breech in the drip rail or around the windshield support area.
