This is what I use as well. This item works really good and can unwrap fast food for you too. This really is the perfect multi-purpose accessory. It's awful expensive though.

I use my ashtrays for spare change.....I'll look into this "wedgie" thing. Thanks.

Jayschevy · 09-22-2013, 10:01 PM

I got something similar to this. I found one a little longer and cheaper. It straps to my bench seat and works great. The center console is a plus. It's a must on long drives.

Thats the one I have. Works decent and looks ok.

I do Automotive upholstery and trim and sewed up the cover for this seat. He wanted a cup holder so this was the best thing i could think of....made out of wood and covered in vinyl. Used aluminum poker table cup holders for the actual holders. Pretty simple, effective, and fairly tight against the seat and out of the way even for someone sitting in the middle.

Thanks,
Andy

I bought the items to do this drink holder but could not find a spot that would work and not hit the transfer case shifter. When I had read that thread I really liked the idea but can't make it work in my truck. I don't care for the ashtray drink holders so for now I have one of the cheapy floor drink holder/console sitting in the middle of the seat.

Have a great day everyone !!

It's on a truck that is for sale on eBay. I think it may be a custom made part?

Look at 88-94 chevy pick up cup holders. I have one mocked up , just need to make the brackets , bolting it to the heater box(ac truck) and the two screws that hold the heater control in. Should work nice , just not enough energy in the day to get it done

I think this one is awesome. To bad they don't list the diameter size though.

Made my own and bolted it to the heater control bolts with aluminum 1 inch strips. Hold solid and the openings are 4". Holds a foam cozy, large cup or a coffee mug.

grancuda · 09-23-2013, 08:02 PM

I thought all these trucks came with cup holders....

I purchased mine at Oreilly's I bolted it to a few fab'd pieces of angle iron and to the bottom of the seat. They are adjustable. Sorry the pic is a little blurry.
The seats are off of a 2010 R@m pick up, just in case someone asks.

kaycee · 09-26-2013, 07:14 PM
