I have a 71 Elco. I'm trying to find out where the drain holes are at. I have water coming out by the front of the driver door underneath between the rocker seams, and will drip for a couple days after rain or washing. I took the hose and put water, on the driver sidecowl where the wiper bay is. Took a lot of water to see any come out, and finally came out by that seam, and then in the rear,at the end of the rocker panal. There is a drain hole there, so I took a screwdriver and stuck it in there and it started to drain better, Took a about 4 foot wire and stuck it in there and lots off crud came out and it drained better. Also shot water and air, seemed to clean out a lot. Is that the only drain whole, or is there one up front, and where?

drains down into the rocker ! sounds like you have years of crud built up in yours ! take your kick panels off and clean them uot with a vac. than hose them ! the water should flow out as fast as you put it in !
