Re: Lets see yer cup holders!

This thread is literally about "trinkets like that". It asking about cup holder options.

And by all means, if people want to take the time to cut and fabricate something like this a source some cups from the internet they should. You say $60 is a bit of a stretch but to some people their time is worth that much an hour and I'm sure it would take an hour for someone to make something similar.

Thanks for your input and good luck with your build.

Re: Lets see yer cup holders!

These were in my '50 PU when I got it; looks like they were "fabbed out of what ever was kicking around the shop."

Re: Lets see yer cup holders!

I conveniently have the driver's seat out, so this might be the last time I can get a good pic of the cup holders.

True there, some folks on here may feel that the option of buying nice looking units that will bolt in and done outweighs the cost of buying. We all have different build budgets just as we all have different build plans. You cup holders may be the clear ticket for my 71 GMC as it has no build theme to follow and period correct doesn't count in it. The ability to tow what I want to tow and be comfortable doing it is what counts with that truck. That includes having a usable cup holder within easy reach.

I love it, KB! The one thing I don't love is vendors blathering about why they put their product up for sale.

Re: Lets see yer cup holders!

I've used a similar unit to the one Killer Bee showed in my 77 dualie. It would be overkill to put a ten dollar cup holder in that truck.

Re: Lets see yer cup holders!

Wow, take it easy on Klaus...so he posted a cup holder option on an old thread about cup holder options... (and wouldn't ya know it, the resurrected thread has more contributions as a result). Way to sh-t on a small business, fellow truck enthusiast, making good parts in the USA. I thought we sorta liked those qualities in a vendor, no?

And to suggest that everyone here doesn't want a $60 cup holder is just silly. Just because you're cheap/broke/able to fabricate doesn't mean everyone is.

Re: Lets see yer cup holders!

I'd say that the number of us who might buy high dollar cup holders in this group is rather limited. Not that we don't like the looks of them and wish we had one but those are truck dollars we can spend elsewhere more productively.

I made that wood thing one day when I got tired of spilling my coffee mug or my 44 ounce Pepsi all the time. No money and ten minutes later I had something I used for about four years. At the time I didn't have the money to buy the 30.00 set on the console that I really wanted at Bi-Mart.

I love it that this bunch is creative rather than run out and throw money at things too. We will and do spend the money on what we really want but we are usually very creative at making things that we can use.

Three major features: 1) This type of cup holder can be pivoted to face the user so that the "cup handle detent" faces the right direction. 2) They can be bought in pairs inexpensively at the Goodwill! 3) For heavy work, they double as foot protection, so be sure to buy the proper size! Awesome.

Here’s my swivel type cup holder. It doesn’t hold the larger drinks, sort of forced serving size!
