You can check everything except the truck seal fairly easily by looking inside with a flashlight while someone carefully applies water from a hose to various parts on the outside. You have to look very carefully. Water can come in through a microscopic opening that you can't even see. In my experience on other brands of cars it is usually the tail light area. You might have to remove the carpeting etc to get a good view.
