Need Help Finding a TSB...
Hey folks...since my truck is now sitting outside and was covered in snow which was melting and collecting in the cab, I figured it was time to do a little research before I started tearing my interior apart and looking for the water leak. So after googling "1999 Chevrolet Silverado Water Leak", I found out that there actually is a TSB in reference to this...turns out that it is the most evasive TSB that I've ever encountered. I went through the entire list of TSB's on my AllData account and it isn't there. Kept googling and came up with the TSB number and description numerous times, but that's it...no TSB, no info, no clue where the water is entering or how to remedy it If anybody has a copy of this TSB I'd greatly appreciate it, here's the info:
TSB# 990864013 (may be listed like this: 99-08-64-013)
NHTSA Number: 607571
TSB Date: August 1, 1999
Failing Component: Structure:Body
Summary: Some owners may comment on wet carpet or water leaking into the passenger compartment near the lower opening of either front door.
Not sure if I'm missing something in my search or if this repair is just a big secret lol, but I'd really like to have an idea where to start before I tear the dash out of my truck if it isn't necessary, especially since it's freezing now and the ground is covered in snow, so I don't even know when I'm going to even get the opportunity to have at it as it is. Plus, I'd hate to disassemble my dash if the fix is as simple as clearing the drain holes in the bottom of the door or something.
Sorry for the long winded post, but searching google up and down and coming up empty handed, even on my AllData account which I now feel like a sucker for paying for, has gotten me very frustrated
Thanks in advance for any help you good folks can provide!

Hopefully someone has access to this TSB and can post it up
