I had seams leaking on a '71 (driver and passanger side). I used seam sealer inside and out and the leaks stopped. The seam sealer is available from parts stores. Some of the firewall grommets/pass throughs without gromets were leaking too. I was lucky in that I could see where the water was leaking (there was a trail). I siliconed like crazy and the leaks finally stopped. You might want to take the opportunity to pull the carpet and padding out for a thorough dry. This also give a chance to inspect the floor, treat any rust and remove any buildup that may trap future water and rust the floor.
