chevy consoles with cupholders - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

did chevy make a center console like the ones found in trucks with buckets but instead of pockets to hold the lapbelt they had cupholders? did they come in a specific truck?

gm did make them, and installed them in blazers, burbs, and pickups starting in 76 or so.

Super C10 · 08-18-2009, 08:16 PM

do they look like a 72 console and bolt into a 72 pickup?

Yes,the post-75 consoles have the same bottom half of the tub.The lid is the same,too.

Heres a pic of one in my 70.

Longhorn Man · 08-18-2009, 09:26 PM

and one in my '70 longhorn.
I prefer these over the 'correct' one... seatbelts belong buckled in your lap... but you can't expect to hold your dew for hundreds of miles.

Ewww...warm Dew.

Don't have one personally, so I cannot comment on what type of quality it is, but the price isn't bad and it's brand new.

The LMC one is a knock-off.The GM ones are actually fairly easy to come across since every K/5 had one and bucket seats were an option in the trucks and Suburbans.then,there are the square cup hole consoles used through`91.They bolt in also.That covers 73-91,lots of consoles.They are cheaper than the seatbelt design.

I bought the LMC one and it's a nice unit. It's made out of a different plastic then the stock ones. It's a little more flexable so it's not likely to crack but LMC claims you cannot paint this type of plastic, so that might be a problem for some.
