    Probably need to drain refrigerant and remove the evaporator. Those year and make trucks the evaporator clogs up big time as well as the drain area.

    This is what a dirty evaporator looks like. FLD120 are famous for clogging up. You need to take it to a shop that can recover your refrigerant and take the evaporator out and clean it properly.

    My old mechanic would take an air hose and blow out that drip tube really good. But you probably did that.
