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

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.

Thanks

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.

I ordered mine from Ebay

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.

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.

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

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.

[kwmech]

Awesome!

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

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

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

I'm interested in this

[guyryan100]

That looks promising!

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

[LNP]

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.

Here is some more photos

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

Seriously--- It's that easy?
