Tired of holding my soda when driving!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jescates · 11-18-2005, 10:29 PM

I have seen somewhere, a device that replaces the ash tray and can hold a couple of cans of coke. Does anyone know where I can get one? Are they of good quality? Thanks for any info! Jay

i subscribedi wan to to know this too

vtblazer · 11-18-2005, 11:21 PM

For me it's coffee in the morning.

Saw them awhile back but also forgot were their from...

These would work and be pretty too. Just to rich for my blood.

It is fun turning a corner with a coke in your lap. Just the wheel gets in the way when I want to take a drink.

And I think LMC has them.

bouncytruck · 11-18-2005, 11:47 PM

I have the one that converts the ash tray to a cup holder. For cans of pop, it works great. My coffee mug won't fit in it though. It definately adds some usefulness to an otherwise worthless feature in my truck (the ashtray). The install was a bit of a pain, but not too bad. You do have to cut the ashtray and remove the guide rails, so you won't ever be able to go back. The instructions show how to do the install on the three different ashtrays made for the trucks.

I got mine from WES at http://classicheartbeat.com/catalog/...p%20Holder.htm

bouncytruck · 11-18-2005, 11:49 PM

Another option (if your dash is already cut for a DIN Stereo) is a ford taurus cup holder. They are DIN size and have a cup holder and coin tray. They were also used in SAABs and a few other cars. I've seen them on ebay a lot.

zot241 · 11-18-2005, 11:57 PM

Tuckers Classic Truck Parts has them.

muddpile · 11-19-2005, 12:43 AM

Got mine from pickupman. Haven't installed it yet, but it will be a nice feature.

QKENUF4U · 11-19-2005, 01:11 AM

i want one and ive seen them at alot of the parts companies websites i have saved but for 70$ i think i may just hold my drink.

Longhorn Man · 11-19-2005, 06:59 AM

onless you are takin corners real fast or have real bad roads..this'll work fine.

70GMCer · 11-19-2005, 08:17 AM

That works for me also......

That's fine for cans, but I like the large fountain drinks though.

Thanks for all the input but the one I was thinking of is the one Bouncytruck has. I want the truck to look stock when not in use! Thanks guys.

**special-K** · 11-19-2005, 09:12 AM

`Tween the legs is my way of keeping the dash original.Once I open something,it`s not long before I polish it of.Force of habit.
I`ve seen alot of "Bar Bouys" in trucks in the past.That`s what`s in my CheyenneSuper.

bouncytruck · 11-19-2005, 05:52 PM

I think the conversion kit was only $50 last year at this time.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-19-2005, 06:00 PM

Tim Christian had em at one of the shows I attended, they are
very nice, I will be getting one for the ROADSTER for sure

nutsforchevys · 11-19-2005, 07:59 PM

Hows this for some southern engineering. Bearing housing sits in seat havent had one turn over yet. Hope I dont have a wreck though, that thing might hurt like heck. LOL

krue · 11-19-2005, 10:10 PM

Ya'll might laugh, but my son's booster seat has two cup holders and an armrest, so I'm good to go.

**PICKMUP** · 11-19-2005, 10:15 PM

The small SteelHorse style boxes/consoles just sitting on the floor/tunnel in front of the seat are pretty good for daily drivers. They look OK, hold drinks and a little extra junk for less than the ashtry units...and you can still set your radio & heater. They are easy to switch from trunk to truck.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-20-2005, 12:42 AM

My coke can usally rides where andys pic shows... Btw andy the pic is a few yaers old..

greenhorn male · 11-20-2005, 02:02 AM

Look...no hands!

Add a bowtie or GMC on the cap and your all set. Diet coke with 1/2 the caffein. Or, you could try Rum and Coke, 7 and 7, gin and tonic.

farside847 · 11-21-2005, 12:40 PM

Heres mine...

1969 C/K CST · 11-21-2005, 12:45 PM

Just set on floor hump and enjoy. Used this for a long time.

MrC1 · 11-22-2005, 11:13 AM

LOL - great thread! Lots of "you might be a redneck if..." pics here!

I'm also interested in a solution. I think I'd prefer the floor mounted center console (for a bench seat) though. But where to get a goodun?

1969 C/K CST · 11-22-2005, 11:36 AM
