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

Thanks

Look in a later model full sized blazer...I think they started in 77 or so. This will replace your seatbeld holder.
I keep my drink on the dash, you'd be amazed at how good it does...onless you launch from the stop light, I did this once (OK...more than once) and ended up smellin like Dew.

Cool holder Andy, but it wouldnt work for me.....about the time I nailed 2nd gear, my Badwieser would be all over the back window!.....or a cop would see it (yikes)

Yeah, I think nailing it into 2nd could count as launching.

I use this one it gets in the way of the radio when you have drinks in it but you get used to it works grest ,replaces the ash tray.

Does it clear the shifter? I've got a 4-speed muncie 465 and the stick is tall.

Any blazer 73 and up will have the cup holding console. But you have to have a truck with bucket seats. If you have an automatic truck, lots of small floor or seat consoles available with cup holders.

I mounted one from an 88 - 95 Chev under the dash. Works great, clears my 5 speed. Do a search, you should find pics.

**'70_402** · 05-07-2004, 10:19 AM

Do i have to chage out the console or is it a removable and transplantable holder? if not then i am going to get a center floor aftermarket console/cup holder....

gr8scott51 · 05-07-2004, 01:29 PM

Mine has nothing to do with the console (if you're talking to me).

**'70_402** · 05-07-2004, 03:17 PM

I was refering to the 73 and up blazer console but i would like to see some pics of yours....i searched and found nothing (i think i am searching right..) anyways, if you had some pics that would be great.

Thanks

Rick

I guess they got deleted by the board mods. I'll take one tonite.

Here is a pic of the cupholder console. The cupholder part comes out, but the seatbelt type holder console that was used in the earlier trucks/blazer doesn't have that part as removable. Hope that makes some sense.

**john** · 05-07-2004, 06:59 PM

I have an aftermarket console that had the seatbelt holders. What I did was remove that part and make an aluminum plate, I think it was 16ga. and use the universal cupholders. I had about a 1/4" lip which I used silicon adhesive to attach the plate with. Anyhow it was a cheap way to get cupholders. John

sorry about the quality of my camera (still from video cam).

Longhorn Man · 05-07-2004, 11:04 PM

Huck, the 73 blazers still used the exact same console as the 69 - 72 did, it wasn't untill later that they went to the cup holders.
