Re: cup holder
 

It’s fairly easy to make one I used a Toyota 4Runner cup holder and an old ashtray..

I’ve got the ashtray cup holders. Mine are too shallow. The cup only dips down into the holder an inch or inch and a half…this causes the cup to tip easily…way too easily.

Never use them.

Any pics of this with a cup in it? Will the cup/can stay sturdy in it on the road? Looks like a good idea if the drinks won't spill

Re: cup holder
 

Thanks for posting this. Have been looking for a mechanism that will fit the width of the OEM ash tray. 3 others have been purchased that did not fit.

Edit- Fixed pic for you.

I used a toyota cup holder as well.

toyotas have to be good for something.

Re: cup holder
 

Have any more details on that?

Re: cup holder
 

I am interested as well. What kind of mods did you do to put the two together?
Thanks

On my 72 the P.O. left one of those Plug & Chug types in the truck (https://www.cjponyparts.com/classic-...1924&year=1973), can't believe they cost this much

I just mounted it so the part that would plug into ashtray was centered under front seat just exposing the cup holder part using 2 sheet metal bolts into seat frame.

It was easy to access and out of the way

Re: cup holder
 

RichardJ it looks like you used a ford face on this cup holder?

The AC controller is from a Lincoln Mark VII, but not the cup holder.

I couldn't get link to work and didn't find a pop out cup holder on the Holly site. Did anyone get that link to work?

Re: cup holder
 

It was a copy & paste type of link here is the direct link.

Re: cup holder
 

Oh thanks. That's why I couldn't find it. I was looking for a fold out/in cup holder.

Re: cup holder
 

Hope we hear back from him. The cup holder arrived today. Waiting on an ashtray purchased on the parts board to cannibalize. Will post in my build thread when I do the mod. I will figure something out.

Re: cup holder
 

This is a good idea..

Re: cup holder
 

Looking forward!

Re: cup holder
 

Me too. I have a cup holder on the way. I'm sure I could figure it out but sometimes it helps to have tips from someone thats been there down that so you skip the oops and nope this way wont work. lol I'll watch for your post on it and if I get mine before then I will post up

Re: cup holder
 

Called Toyota this morning on the cup holder, they want 80.00 friggn' dollars for that. Saw one on Amazon for 14.20 from a company called Nova Parts.

Re: cup holder
 

I ordered mine from Ebay

Re: cup holder
 

Old Air Products used to carry one like the Toyota one. I have it in my truck and it works great with the original ashtray faceplate on it.

Re: cup holder
 

My son is currently making a bracket to adapt the Toyota cup holder so it will attach to the factroy ash tray bracket. I will let you guys know how it goes.

Re: cup holder
 

I found Toyota PN 55620 35050

Prices are all over the place but this one on Amazon has good reviews and is cheap..

Might try this out and see how it works.

Re: cup holder
 

This must be real secret squirrel stuff as nobody is following up on how this goes together or just plug and play

Re: cup holder
 

I decided to take the task on myself as the guy that posted installed his hasnt answered back on how. If the adapter bracket works I will post up about it. The prototype has worked but he is now dialing it in. I will post up picks once done and if someone wants one made a link to it.

Re: cup holder
 

Awesome!

Re: cup holder
 

I got the bracket today and will be installing it this weekend. I will post up info and pics about it

Re: cup holder
 

I'm interested in this

Re: cup holder
 

That looks promising!

Re: cup holder
 

The pressures on LNP! We're all wanting to do this mod. :c2:

Re: cup holder
 

I havent forgotten I have the bracket with me now and will be installing and taking photos tomorrow. He made the bracket to install in the origianl ash tray bracket without destroying it. So if you decide to go back to your ash tray you can. I am excited to get it installed so I can use it. I have a video he gave me of the cup holder sliding in and out of the bracket on my iPhone but I havent figured out o how to switch the Apple video to one I can upload here or I would have posted it today as well. I will be posting up pics tomorrow

Re: cup holder
 

Everytime I get into truck with hot coffee, keep thinking, where would you put a cup holder.

Re: cup holder
 

Ok so we had a couple changes to the bracket so its not 100% but heres photos of everything. Ok he designed this so you can go back to your stock ash tray if you want. The only mod to the ash tray bracket is you have to straighten out the small flange at the back of the ash tray. The bracket will attach to the original ash tray bracket by one #8 screw so there will be one small hole you will have to drill. You will see where in the photos. The nut drops into a hex hole made for it in the cup holder bracket. I had to do some moving around of my stereo wires otherwise it went right in. The face plate will have to be removed from the ash tray by drilling out the two rivets. I did this by drilling away the rivet from inside the ash tray. The face plate will attach to an adpater that goes on to the cup holder. The adapter for the cup holder is what he is redesigning. If you have any questions as I am sure I left something out let me know. The photos show everything but the face plate adapter as hes working on it now and hopes to have it to me by Weds. Sorry I didnt get this up over the weekend as I said I would do. We were figuring out the changes that need made and I forgot to post.

Re: cup holder
 

Here is some more photos

Re: cup holder
 

Once the face plate adapter is done it will look like the ash tray is still there when closed.

Re: cup holder
 

Seriously--- It's that easy?

Re: cup holder
 

Yup he has spent a lot of time making this as simple as possible. Everyone ignore my stereo amp and wires hangin out of the dash I didnt have
it all put back before I did the photos

Re: cup holder
 

Sorry guys I’m not getting notifications to my email on threads but yea it’s fairly simple to do as Harley has done it close to the same way I did. I used an old ashtray to cut up and mounted the Toyota cup holder to it. I still need to rivet the stop on top

Re: cup holder
 

Did you make that part with the hex where screw goes in. I Bought that same cup holder didn't have that (tray) part?

Re: cup holder
 

My son is 3d printing it. Once we have the bugs out if someone wants one he will offer them on his Etsy page. I should have the final print today so I can get it installed. The bracket will consist of 3 pieces total. Two will be small pieces so the face plate can be easily attached and the last piece is the bracket that attaches to the ash tray original bracket. It is made for the cup holder all of us have purchased. I will post up more pics of the pieces and how they go. I might even do a short video explaining the pieces.
