Wet floor when it rains

Wet floor when it rains Update
I just got a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 reg cab that the floor gets wet when it rains. It isn't the windshield, third brake light or the clearance lights, so I'm suspecting the possibility of the cowl drain. I just need to locate. Any help? Also, is there one or two? Thanks.
Update Finally got frustrated with all this rain and sent it to a shop. They found it. Someone had installed aftermarket speakers in the doors and the routing of the wires pushed the vapor seal open at the bottom.

It kinda pools on the mostly the passenger side of the floorboard and somewhat on the driver's side. I've pulled the door molding and kick panel, but couldn't really tell where it's coming from since the firewall insulation is also wet at least half way up towards the dash. Don't really know if it is wicking up from the floor or running down from the cowl. That's why I'm asking about the cowl drain.

I was afraid of that. Right now it looks like rain for about a week and my garage is almost full of stuff. What I might do is to remove the windshield wipers and the cowl cover and take a good look behind the hood hinges. I do know the truck has quite a few fir needles in the cowl area. Thanks.
