Got under-dash water leaks?
Looks like you're having the same issue I am with the cowl seal. I'm in the process of getting all of the old caulk out and then I'll have to repair somehow. Mine has a few rust holes that I need to deal with but it looks like you caught your earlier than I did and may not have as much to deal... -
Cowl/Firewall/Floorboard rust
Agreed but I can see why a rust free cab would be the way to go depending on the amount of rust, etc. Since the truck doesn't need to be on the road, is a "work on it when I can" type project and something that I hope to learn from, I'm going to purchase a welder and give it a go. If I... -
Cowl/Firewall/Floorboard rust
Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I didn't think the rust was anywhere near needing a cab replacement. I hope I'm right. :) -
Cowl/Firewall/Floorboard rust
How bad was the rust in your cowl area? I haven't started to clean it out yet but I'm concerned it may be worse than I thought. I'm seeing a few more holes now that I'm taking a harder look at it. It's out of the weather, so luckily no concerns of water entering the cab. Can you elaborate on... -

Here are some pics. I'm currently working on the rust problem that I didn't know existed when I purchased it. Oh well, I purchased it so that the kiddos and I could spend some time together fixing it up. I guess they'll learn how to deal with rust. :)- parzan

Greetings from OKC
Hello all, New guy here who just purchased an 84 SWB. I've always wanted a square body so I pulled the trigger. It's in pretty good shape but needs some TLC. Hoping to learn a lot here. Thanks, Chris- parzan

Cowl/Firewall/Floorboard rust
I plan on heading to Harbor Freight tomorrow. I'll check the welder out. I have a feeling the floors will need some patching or replacing also and it'll probably be a good tool to have in the garage. Luckily I think this is the only rust the truck has unless I luck out and find more. :) I... -
Cowl/Firewall/Floorboard rust
greetings. I just purchased an 84 SWB which I thought had minimal rust. However, after some rain, I discovered water on the floorboards and after some investigating tracked the leak down to the cowl seal. You can see in this pic that the sealant has failed and there are a few small holes...
