Tired of holding my soda when driving!!!

[ChevLoRay]

Reading an issue of Classic Trucks several months ago, they showed the installation of one that requires modifying the ashtray. They got their from Brothers. So, I went to the Brothers website, and it's like $80!! Nice to see that others on the Board, have it for less.

I think that Year One has a different one, that comes in colors to match the interior. It slides into the ashtray guides and it's cheaper than the one that requires rebuilding the ashtray.

I bought one from a street rod shop that is machined from billet aluminum and mounts beneath the dash. I gotta get some beveled "washers" to allow it to stay level, when installed.

No room for a floor mounted center console in a 4x4.

I was thinking F@#* Taurus cup holder but I see bouncytruck already thought that through. And I'm not a dash cutter.

I like farside847's solution. If I remember correctly that was 67 buddy seat brackets on the floor, 69-72 buckets on the sides, with a fabbed buddy seat middle.

What happened to that "chug-n-plug" thing people were buying a few years ago. Is that still available?

Thanks for all the input but the one I was thinking of is the one Bouncytruck has. I want the truck to look stock when not in use! Thanks guys.

I dont think the ash tray conversion works well for Mega drinks of today. You may want to check with Bouncy.

O yea, and if I know I will be out all day workin in the truck I will grab an extra shoe (work boots are the best) and set it next to me, it works like a champ.

I've been using this one ,but don't use the stock radio or the heater much .

The ash-tray conversions won't hold anything much larger than a pop can. Flimsy sided cups with bottoms that aren't flat could be an issue too. I also have one of the "octopus" cup holders sitting on the floor right by the 4wd shifter to hold larger cups and my morning coffee.

is that the one from year one?
I saw these there but they do look like they would interfere with the heater controls. They run about $30 Pics from year one's site:

Right now I have some cheap saddle blanket seat covers on my ol' tore up bench. I just tuck my beverage of choice in the pouch next to me and I'm good to go. Fits any size from a soda can all the way up to a big gulp. Although I'm screwed once I install the buckets I just got. Looks like I'll be takin the ash tray route too.

had the same problem. for about twice the price i just picked up a new seat with integrated (removable) drink holder. new seat (at the time) from a '98 or so ford pickup, from a place that installed aftermarket seats.

i still haven't gotten that thing properly reupholstered to match. but it's on the list.

Only a couple of bucks for the glovebox holders and they work great...

I plan to build a small unit like Pickmup showed in the red truck. I will build it to accept the console cup holder base like the one used in my 02 Sierra, which is the right size for cans or the big cups.
