Nice fit, however, since I have a four speed manual tranny the shifter whacks my cup holder when going from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. Not too cool.

Gray Ghost · 10-15-2007, 06:52 AM

I installed mine in about 40 minutes...sure does get some looks when I have a can of soda resting there.

1969stepside · 06-30-2011, 09:30 PM

bmfm64 · 06-30-2011, 10:26 PM

original-71 · 07-01-2011, 12:15 AM

I don't know but if you find them, let me know! I could use two!

**Already Gone** · 07-01-2011, 01:54 PM

I read on a recent thread on here that they do not make/sell them anymore because the manufacturer priced them out of reason. I am pretty sure they were around 60.00 when availabale and Brothers used to sell them as well.

1969stepside · 07-01-2011, 09:32 PM

yeah i called brothers and they told me they dont sell them anymore

o6r1man · 07-01-2011, 10:14 PM

Like it! I will be getting one fosho!!!

1969stepside · 07-02-2011, 10:41 PM

we just need to figure out where to get them at

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-03-2011, 12:16 AM

1969stepside · 07-03-2011, 10:50 PM

DaddyO · 07-12-2011, 10:03 PM

I found one today at a place outside of Houston called Outback Truck Parts. Been looking for one of these for a while and I just lucked up on it.!!

GDUB68 · 07-12-2011, 11:07 PM

Wes posted pics a while back that wasn't related to this..... ya...that cupholder is pretty nice! Too bad they aren't available anymore. I wonder if part of it was a problem with durability? If anyone can bring them back it would be Wes (hint)!!!!

ChevLoRay · 07-13-2011, 11:42 AM

I think there's at least one more thread about cup holders, but the one that Rockrin did is like the one I bought from Kenny's Truck Parts (Tulsa, OK) at a swap meet. Mine has Old Air as the supplier name, so that may be an avenue you would want to try.

I also picked up a billet aluminum cup holder from a street rod shop. It has L-shaped brackets to attach it to where you want it to be. It doesn't move so you need to put it where you want it to be. I never did install it because the bottom of the dash is angled and that would make the cup holder not set level. I could bend the flange and make it work, but I didn't.

Here's pix of both.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-13-2011, 12:04 PM

I would love to bring them back. Unfortunately "Old Air" was the manufacturer. I use to sell lots of them and had installed a few in trucks myself including the "Garden Truck". I talked to them about it and they said that they were too expencive to continue to produce. WES
