Cup holder conversion for ashtray - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought mine from Old Air Products directly on their website. But I haven't put it in yet 'cuz of having factory air - makes it much more of a hassle according to their instructions.
Kevin, did you change the center air ducting as the instuctions indicate?
Also, I'd like to know why you guys say they are not very functional.

Didn't have to change any ducting. Was a pretty simple install. Does not hold cups very well water bottle falls out while driving. Probably why they stopped making them.

I've got them in both of my trucks....no difference in installation for the non A/C or the A/C truck...that I can recall. The screws are tough to get to as I recall. I have to agree that they are more for looks...the only thing they hold very well is a 12 ounce can...anything else is kind of tippy...

As a "Recovering Alcoholic" of 20 years, my "Drink Of Choice" is a 12oz can of "Diet Cherry Pepsi".
Have one in my hand 24/7 and this Cup Holder would work PERFECTLY for my needs!

(Now if I can only FIND one)!

Roger, it took me half the day to find out what I paid for mine. I bought it a year ago and paid through my online banking. The invoice that Old Air sent didn't have any of that info on it. Anyway, I hope that you checked Paddocks and found one for $45, cuz I paid $74.88!! I know that shipping was part of that, though.
Oh, and yes, all of the instructions are there.
