Like I said these aren't fancy or elaborate but quite funcitonal. If you are running a floor shift like mine word of advice, "Don't try speed-shifting" as the gear shift will hit the bottom of the cup and create quite a mess. (Experience here) Should be no problem with an automatic column shift.

those dont look too bad. i had the same shifter in my truck but i recently cut it off and welded in something different. its a box wrench now....lol i think it looks pretty neat. once i get the truck back from the body shop i will take a pic.

I like those, Where did you get them from?

72c10step · 07-31-2003, 09:58 PM

Those are some sweet cup holders. I need some!

I know it's off the subject of the cup-holder but what's the seat out of, looks good, been hunting around to decide what i want to replace my original bench seat with.

highboy_04 · 08-01-2003, 02:03 AM

the cup holders are home made by iron horse.

How many drinks do you have going at one time, I see you have console cup holders too. LOL I like that ashtray cup holder invention, cause I have a bench seat, that would work great were did you get them?

I know ol' Ironhorse, and I'm pretty sure he acquired that Crown Royal bag hanging from the lighter honestly! LOL!

Thanks for all the comment on the cup holders. Like I said they are nothing elaborate but function goes before beauty. The cup holders them selves are actually commercial grade electrical wire supports. Got them from the surplus sales section at the company I work for. Friend of mine in the electrical trade says they are called "bridal rings" ? Must be a trade slang here. Not sure the company of mfg. but if you check some electrical supply houses I'm sure you can find them. Will try to find the actual mfg. name and post if anyone wants it.

The seat with the folddown center and cup holders was purchased at a swap meet last fall. Bought it after making the ash-tray cup holders. Seat came from outfit in Van Buren, Ark. Anyone want the contact info send me a PM. Bit pricey ($600 )but really a comfortable seat. All three seats adjust individually, driver and pass. backs tilt forward, more storeage under center seat bottom.

LB, your right about the Crown bag hanging from the cig. lighter. Was full and after emptying it I put the cell phone recharger in it. Again , function before beauty.
