I misread your post as wanting to get air into the cab from a quieter source.

for a more in keeping with your build approach, you might look at early-mid 60s pickup kick panel vents. both ford and GM had them on removable flanges. Steel flap doors, I think Fords had a thumb screw, GM had a spring latch
Vans had such vents well into the 70s, but not as a removable unit.
I'd probably add some mesh to keep out critters when I forgot to close it

I checked your build thread, very nice truck!
