I need a cup holder.

I really do not like not having a cup holder. I do not want a cheezee looking one . How about some pics of cup holders with a bench seat.

Re: I need a cup holder.

Surely there is something that could be strapped down by the center seat belt?

Re: I need a cup holder.

I wonder if there is a console that could be strapped down by the center seat belt and give a couple of cup holders?

Re: I need a cup holder.

I will look. I was thinking of something sitting on the floor in front of the seat about the same height of the seat but not sticking to far forward

Re: I need a cup holder.

Here's a cup holder idea that I got from this board years ago and I still get a lot of positive remarks on it. Just checked and it's still available on Amazon, but I got mine at WalMart. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ferrerid=25933

Re: I need a cup holder.

I have the type that sit on the floor, like at any parts chain store, in my 71. It isn't the prettiest thing but it does the job well.

Re: I need a cup holder.

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.

Re: I need a cup holder.

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?

Re: I need a cup holder.

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

Re: I need a cup holder.

I posted this a few weeks ago. I had been looking for a cup holder(s) and also wanted to add two more speakers without putting in the kick panel speaker option. In the past I have cut holes in the doors in other trucks, but the speakers would get wet. So my son and I built this earlier in the summer. As you can see it has been tested and passed !!. It has a place for phones and other stuff. Speakers sound great because they are enclosed in the box. The cups are supported by two 4" PVC pipes cut to about 4 " long. Cool thing is that the only extra expense was the black paint and the speakers. All the rest we used scrap lumber and PVC pipe. Also, if I want to I can disconnect the two speaker wires and then remove the whole box.

Mine came from Walmart - I think I got 4 of 'em for $2....

I'm still getting used to the complete absence of cubby holes in my '67 - anything that I don't want flying or sliding from one side of the truck to the other (both the seat and floor are really slick) has to go in the ashtray, glovebox, or a large cardboard box sitting in the passenger floorboard.

That's what came to my mind as well. lol

I've had good luck setting things on the floor. Works good if things are less than half full and you have a rubber floor. But then I don't have to turn very often or try to break the rear tires loose.

I had a 16oz plastic budweiser cup about 1/4 of the way filled with diesel in the bed just sitting on the box floor in between the bedside and my fuel tank. It stayed upright until I dumped it out after about 2 weeks cuz it was half full of rain water. It wasn't leaning on anything either. With the way our roads are that's pretty miraculous.
