Well, you already checked the sun roof, I hope you checked the window and windshield while you were at it, although I would think you would notice any of those three things leaking whle you were driving.

Get under your car and check the rocker panels and gramets (spelling?), it is possible that the water is being splashed up through holes in the floor while you're driving.

Check and see if your coolant tank is full, or if any of the liquid in the wet spot looks green. Could be leaking coolant from the heater coil.

Don't drink and drive, it causes spilling..... Always go pee BEFORE you get in the car....

there are no hole in the floor board and it is not antifreeze

Well then, that leaves drinking or peeing....

My '96 had a windshield gasket leak about halfway down the A-pillar.
Water would drip down the plastic A-pillar cover (car interior), and then drip into the storage compartment in the driver's door, and from there onto the carpet. The issue was resolved when I replaced my windshield.

Check all the rubber plugs on the firewall, and check behind the kick panels. Wiring harnesses go behind the fender, into the car, right behind the kick panels. It isn't too rare for one of those rubber plugs to come out, and drip water in. Best to pull the carpet up for water too. It may look dry, but it'll stay wet underneath for months, and rot your floorboards away.

Pull up the carpet and tape down some absorbent paper and watch where it is coming from. If it is coming from near the center console, then it is probably the heater core (not fun to change but trucks are worse).

Report back what you find.

Yeah, my '95 did does the same thing....didn't have a clue until I got caught in a good T-storm. It was coming in at the top of the drivers side window...weatherstripping was just not tight enough against the window to seal. Only happens during a VERY hard rain...I'm just living with it...hope your problem isn't more major.
