Re: Ash tray ideas
I bought a drink holder through lmc?, works great and easy to remove when not in use.

Re: Ash tray ideas
there was a GPS unit that poped up from a member here and it was killer!!! Close when not in use and it's your secret.

Re: Ash tray ideas
Can the gps also be used to track down a truck that is stolen?

Re: Ash tray ideas
I have a plan to eliminate the ashtray, enlarge the radio depression-opening to accept a double DIN radio. The pieces are cut, waiting on the work bench.
I've just been reluctant to cut into my virgin dash. Dang, this forum is getting in my head.....

Re: Ash tray ideas
Well I think mine is just faithfully carrying 2 or 3 cigarette butts from my grandpa, and he died in the early 80s lol. Between the long sloped dashboard, bench seat, and long bed I have no need to use the ashtray for anything.
![]() I could see it being used to hold a cell phone or maybe make it into a cubby hole.

Re: Ash tray ideas
I like a dash with no ashtray at all. Cut it out with a 3 inch cut-off wheel, weld in a new piece the same size, dress the weld, prime and paint. I got so carried away I deleted the Radio too! What could be easier?

Re: Ash tray ideas
I made a custom bracket with my laser cutter that grabs the front face of the ashtray to hold me satellite radio. Works great and the tray is still available for change.
