Dust in cab

I drive mainly on dirt roads in the country and my 02 pickup has the "smell" of dust entering the cab. It's a super cab, window seals are good, all door seals look good and doors are tight. I run the AC on "Max" which, if I understand right, re-cirulates the inside air. Any ideas where I might look for the problem?

One more question, what are the 2 "vent looking gadgets" that are on the backside of the cab and whats there purpose? Could one of them be letting the dust in? Thanks

I heard on here one time that those vents release inner-cab pressure when you close the doors (with all windows up).

I had a ton of very fine dust under the dash when I got my excursion, It was coming in around the steering colum seal, large zip tie on engine side of boot took care of dust and smell. Good luck.
