I need a cup holder. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I really do not like not having a cup holder. I do not want a cheezee looking one . How about some pics of cup holders with a bench seat.

Same issue here! I see LMC offers one that is a replacement of the ash tray, pn#38-8200

I have seen it but not sure I like it.

Saw this cup holder on a truck for sale on eBay.

Somebody sells those. I have seen them in 1 of my 67-72 truck catalogs.

I posted this a few weeks ago. I had been looking for a cup holder(s) and also wanted to add two more speakers without putting in the kick panel speaker option. In the past I have cut holes in the doors in other trucks, but the speakers would get wet. So my son and I built this earlier in the summer. As you can see it has been tested and passed !!. It has a place for phones and other stuff. Speakers sound great because they are enclosed in the box. The cups are supported by two 4" PVC pipes cut to about 4 " long. Cool thing is that the only extra expense was the black paint and the speakers. All the rest we used scrap lumber and PVC pipe. Also, if I want to I can disconnect the two speaker wires and then remove the whole box.

Stone,
would you be interested in building one of those for me, with holes to fit 6 inch speakers?? would pay

Surely there is something that could be strapped down by the center seat belt?

In The Ten Ring · 09-22-2013, 09:14 PM

I wonder if there is a console that could be strapped down by the center seat belt and give a couple of cup holders?

jdfarmer · 09-22-2013, 09:22 PM

LMC truck has a console with cup holders on page 117

Here's a cup holder idea that I got from this board years ago and I still get a lot of positive remarks on it. Just checked and it's still available on Amazon, but I got mine at WalMart. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ferrerid=25933

good info...I like it

**70CHEVYBB** · 09-22-2013, 09:31 PM

I will look. I was thinking of something sitting on the floor in front of the seat about the same height of the seat but not sticking to far forward

**DreamRyder1963** · 09-22-2013, 09:39 PM

I have the type that sit on the floor, like at any parts chain store, in my 71. It isn't the prettiest thing but it does the job well.

71K20chevy · 09-22-2013, 09:44 PM

I got mine at Dollar General...they go into the window slot.

Cost a whopping $2 for both of them.

Mine came from Walmart - I think I got 4 of 'em for $2....

I'm still getting used to the complete absence of cubby holes in my '67 - anything that I don't want flying or sliding from one side of the truck to the other (both the seat and floor are really slick) has to go in the ashtray, glovebox, or a large cardboard box sitting in the passenger floorboard.

Those things absolutely SUCK!!! I had one fall on the floor with a large soda held in it in my 1968 19 years ago!! All I did was hit a small bump and then **KERBLOOSH** all over the floor!!

*Mister-B* · 09-22-2013, 09:45 PM

You could try using one of these in the center bench seat lol

That's what came to my mind as well. lol

I've had good luck setting things on the floor. Works good if things are less than half full and you have a rubber floor. But then I don't have to turn very often or try to break the rear tires loose.

I had a 16oz plastic budweiser cup about 1/4 of the way filled with diesel in the bed just sitting on the box floor in between the bedside and my fuel tank. It stayed upright until I dumped it out after about 2 weeks cuz it was half full of rain water. It wasn't leaning on anything either. With the way our roads are that's pretty miraculous.
