Bench Seat Console Pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Draggn66 · 01-26-2007, 06:19 PM

Anybody got one? Looking for something to hold my coffe, sunglasses & things. I've found a few bench seat consoles that attach to the seat with the center belt. They look ok in the pics but I'd really like to see something actually mounted in one of our trucks. Anybody?

I use a roll of duct tape, holds my coffee and it sticks to the floor. Some day I will get something a bit nicer.

My shifter was bent by the PO to clear the under dash AC unit, so I don't have a lot of clearance.

Yea I did the duct tape thing for a while also. But now that I've finished my interior I'm wantin to upgrade a bit. Thinkin something like this only in black.

Yea I saw that link. But I'm lookin for more of a "sit on the seat" kinda console for my bench.

Simple and cheap from another member. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ghlight=holder

I found this identical cupholder at Walmart cheap. Haven't made the brackets yet (it's a winter project). It may not be what you are looking for but it's gonna work perfect for me (hold the coffee or soda on the way to and from the car shows, then remove it and hide during the show).

Two adjustable cup holders, and CD's, sunglass's etc out of sight. Somewhere to put the junk in my truck!

I bought a cup holder from walmart that fastens to the front of the seat for my '89. I found it at walmart for @$5! Ill post a pic of it here for you tomorrow...

I just noticed. Mine is identical to the one xmitsu10 posted above...

Had the cover made at http://www.ricksupholstery.com Nice work and good prices

stynchrr · 01-27-2007, 02:32 PM

Thanks, They look like what i am looking for. I didn't see any prices on there site if you don't mind what do they run. Do you think the material they use is thicker than the stock reproductions?

My cover set me back $220 shipped. As far as the thickness I'm not sure. My stock cover was cloth and this one is vinyl so I don't have anything to compare to. It is very well made and fits good.

stynchrr · 01-29-2007, 10:44 AM

Thanks for the info. I really like the way your seat(and whole interior) looks and for the extra money I think that is the way I am going to go.

cstanley · 01-29-2007, 10:56 AM

here's what i did, which works really well and would keep your bench very clean looking...but it doesn't sit on the seat...

GMCBubba · 01-29-2007, 01:09 PM

Does anyone have this setup in their pickup? If so, can you fit 20oz. pop bottles in it? Or does it only hold can's?
