Adding Cupholder?
« on: November 18, 2006, 11:47:00 am »
Is it possible to add a cupholder from a newer Chevy truck  to the dash  of our trucks? This one is from an 88 truck-

Yeah- good question- I'm thinking under the dash- but not sure how hokey it would look.

Found a really nice cupholder that plugs into your cigarette tray...only comes in black though.

Lost your chance for fame and glory?
Figure out a good way to add 2 more cup holders...

My dad used to just screw one of those bottle holders that bolts on the frame on a bicycle to the dash next to the radio. It looks bad but it works. My truck doesn't have one but if it did I probably woulnd't use it.

That's what I have on one of my quads so I can carry around at least 1 beer ;)

The reason I never finished my cup holder was because both of my seats have the fold down console with the cupholder already.
