Were can I find somthing like whats in the picture

More than likely its "go have it made" item. ask around at upholstery shops.

havent seen one like that before but Ido know that either classic industries , lmc, or ? makes a cup holder that replaces your ashtray.

*Stitch* · 07-24-2010, 11:37 PM

That wouldn't be hard at all for an upholstery shop to do if they know what they're doing. Easy peasy.

It looks cool, but I don't think its a good idea. Even with a lidd on it, my drinks usually seep a little out of the top. I think I would rather have it in a separate holder.

That really looks like a dual needle guage and two paddle switches for air ride, to me.

With all that work I really wish they (or someone) had removed the shifter stub from the column. That is such an easy repair, stands out like a sore thumb.

Ya know, I think you are right. I wonder what the two slots on the side were. That makes perfect sense

It's a small detail, but it would clean it up.

Well I found the cup insert eddie motorsports carrys billet cup holders. So I think when I get my bench seat redone I'll have the cup insert put in the arm rest.

Well I dont find that interio to be all that, besides that air switch idea, which I think works out better in the ashtray its pretty much alot of painted panels there isnt even a radio in it. I would love to see it when its finished

I thinks its pretty clean and it is finished I've seen this truck. Lets see some pics of your interior?

Its not a needle gauge its just a cup holder.

I dont have any pictures of my interior but it definately looks more custom than that, besides I didnt say it to be a prick but imho I think everything in one color makes the interior look plain

I think a set up like N2TRUK did with his air gauge/swich pod would look killer in a cup holder form..

Agreed,

Also what's the point if it's not used ? My cups seep in the holders of my DD's, I sure nuff don't want that in my show rig.....

85silverbeast · 01-11-2011, 07:22 PM

I don't think is a good idea either, specially with that center insert being suede, maybe if it was vinyl or leather it will be easier to clean if you spilled a drink.

................... i got the ashtray kind works good but i have tossed around the idea of fabing and mounting some near the floorboard in front of the seat, like my wifes truck has in it 02 GMC sierra they are mounted to the seat frame i think. She won't let me tare into her truck to investigate.
