Let me invite you to my garage...

From what I've heard and read, deep-south trucks (like my TX rig) had the seals shrink earlier in life, letting more water into the pillars earlier on. My driver's side has at least a dozen pin holes in it.

I actually bought a northern frame to replace mine (whatever year I get to it).

$200-300 if it is in excellent condition. I paid in that range and made sure the seller gave me the visor mounting brackets (since they are part of the top mounting).
