Default Found my water leak!!!

1999 Every time it rained it flooded real good.

Gonna dry it up, treat the rust, flex seal or something like that....

Wow, how did you not see that before? That's a MASSIVE gaping hole in the driver front fender! (Identified by electrical C352 under the lip).

You're gonna have to find some good metal and weld a new sheet in to get that to seal properly. I bet your cab mount is gone too.

Really never looked. I bought the truck a year ago to use at the farm. Always stored in the barn, never had a leak!

Brought back for license and emissions, switch doors, bumper, and maybe bed due to rust.

Had the time and decided to trouble shoot. Wheel well cover off and Presto!

Yesterday I prefabbed an old license plate, sheet metal screws and am now applying Flex seal.

Cab mount looks unaffected.
