Usually, that's caused by the seam sealer getting brittle and causing a major leak path between the roof skin and the upper cab structure. It's common on the '60-'63 trucks, but very, very uncommon on the '64-'66 trucks because if it's a leaker, the water naturally runs down the slanted windshield posts and winds up rusting out the floor right at the kick panel area. Honestly, I've never seen a '64-'66 cab rusted that severely at the visor mount.

As many problems as it has, it's fixable. Don't part it out, you'll regret it later.
