Pete, where are you seeing the water? If its coming from below the dash, running down the sides near the door hinges, I'd take a really good look at spot-welded seam in the roof gutter. Look for any tell-tale signs of rust. Could be a leaking windshield seal too.

HI Johnny thanks for your reply.
It's seems on the passenger side I found a hole under the dash in that side,
But on the drivers side seems to be in the middle of the dash area above the peddles how ever there is some rust down the side pillars of the windscreen, we call them a pillars over here not sure what you call that part thanks again Pete

If that differential is 6 lug it is a '65-'70 truck 12 bolt. The late year '70 12 bolts were 63.5" wide whereas the '65 to early '70 12 bolts were 62". If it is 5 lug it is a '71-'72 and will be 63.5" wide. As for shims and clutches, you might try ebay or Toms Differentials
