Cup holder idea's needed
 

I'm going on a road trip in my 71 4x4 to Calif. in June. It would be nice to have a cold Mountian Dew to sip on while I'm on the road.
Cup holder idea's and pictures would be appreciated.

I have one of those cheap plastic center consoles that sit on the hump that I throw in when I take a drive/trip in it. It works good, looks like crap though. A word of wisdom, if you like your carpet, throw something heavy in the storage part of it so it doesn't want to tip when you corner.

Seriously, a roll of duct tape laying on the trans hump will work great. And, if you needed some duct tape sometime...

LMC sells one that replaces your ashtray

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

I just made one for myself. I picked up a used ashtray on e-bay (Cheap) and 2 fold-up cup holders (Also on e-bay). I drilled and mounted the cup holder to the front plate on the ashtray. Total cost, about $25.00. With the ashtray closed, the cup holders block the heater controls, but open the ashtray and you can then reach under to regulate the heat/AC. The best part is that when the cup holders are collapsed, they only stick out about one half inch from the dash. Oh and one other thing, if you smoke (Not in my truck) you can still use the ash tray. I use the ashtray to hold my cell phone.

I just bought a 72 gmc, and it has a fold style that mounts on the lower part of the dash. I know this was adapted from a mid 90's chevy truck as my boss had one in his 94 W/T. Works great in a auto on the column situation. Not sure if its gonna interfere with my top loader 4-speed yet. I'm sure you could still find these in junk yards or order from any gm dealer. nice thing is you retain the look of the dash and keep the drinks lower incase of spills.

I have a generic one from Kragen. Works good, the cup holders are adjustable to hold Big Gulps or cans or whatever. I have it packed with CD's and tools.

Take Buford with you.:lol:

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

I'm curious if anybody has ever used these?

I've been looking for one because for my truck, but didn't really want to use a black one. They have several color options. I've been thinking about putting it on my birthday wish list.

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

Dug this up for you. I really like ashtray conversions. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=351469

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

I have the dual padded cup holder as mentioned by NC67CHEV. It works well, when I get to a show I take it off and put my original ash tray in.

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

Here's two choices...depending on current budget!

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

I have heard these work well also...sorry I couldn't help myself :lol:

They also give you warmth in the winter and shade in the summer, but your gas mileage is going to suffer.

LOL

Hmmm may look into the ashtray cupholder

any custom ones out there?

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

Let me know when you are going. Gonna worry bout you guys making there and back the whole time. How come you are taking the truck and not one of your PT's?

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

Didn't you see the one that I put in my truck? I just got it from Napa. It don't look to clean, but it works, and that's all that matters to me right now.

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

I have a 2 hole'er from spill-master. they are adjustable for everything from your kid's drink boxes to a man sized bladder buster. it fits nicely on the trans hump and has room in the middle for smokes/lighter. mine is really quite stable since I installed it 8 years ago. I used a pair of self drilling sheet metal screws and flat washers. it's all part of the truck's theme.

a small section of pvc pipe and sillycone it to the top of the dash

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

I've used a big ceramic coffee mug for the better part of a year. The walnut console should be installed within a couple of weeks though. :metal:

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

how about an old school one that slided in between the door and the glass

Re: Cup holder idea's needed
 

I'd really like to take him. I know a good truck dog when I see one.
