Get this cupholder set up? Is it a one off custom or produced?

On Ebay. Just type in stainless steel cup holders.
I just looked at some.

Ok... so they just fit into a hole that is cut out of the seat upholstery and frame? I guess that would be easy enough. I see they have drain holes where you can attach tubes to reach outside the cab... cool.... even use a porta potty in traffic.

So if you are a male and sitting in the middle, they might work for you. Is that what you are telling us?

I don't see these as a simple thing you cut a couple holes and pop right in. Must have some sort of support to prevent them from slipping through once the weight stretched the fabric.

I use Tween The Legs brand. Take it with me everywhere I go.

I think the cup holders in pic 1 are a bit more show than go. While they might look cool n custom (and they do), I just don't see those as a very effective cup holder. They don't look level, and the first bump will put coffee all over your nice seat cover. Personally, I'd prefer them over the floor somehow. If you look at the location of a 99-06 double cup holder for bench seat trucks, that's the location I'm talkin about. If you used the metal cup holders above, fab'ed up a bracket to bolt low in front of the seat to hold them, then I think you'd be in business. My 2 cents only - but I agree with Special K, pic 1 is not a simple cut and stuff job, that's a very custom upholstery job that I'm sure (ok, I hope) has some sort of backing/bracing to support the cup holders so they don't wiggle around in the vinyl, etc.
