Looking for a front cup holder

So I am in need of some cup holder for the front of my '88 e250. I am wanting something like this:
1982 1991 Ford Full Size Van Wood Drink Tray Cup Holder Solid Walnut | eBay

But since I am cheap and don't need a new one, I was hoping someone had one that they would be willing to sell. I checked out the Marketplace section of the forum, but didn't see anything.

I remember having them in our Ford conversion vans growing up.

PM me if you have anything.

Hit some local junkyards. Chances are you'll find at least one scrapped Ford conversion van that you can grab one from for cheap.

I called around and nobody had any vans in the "Older" range (up to about '94). Right now I am working on making my own. I have the tools I need and since I don't need any specialty wood it cost me under $10 for the supplies. If it doesn't work out I will probably go walk around some yards to see what I can find.

That type piece would most likely be found only in the '91 and earlier conversions. I'm assuming you have a pre-92? By '97 the dog house console cup holder had grown into a rather nice feature, a few different types exist that aren't cheap but much easier to find.

Of course DIY is a way to go as well---no cruising the yards on a fat chance.

Yes, mine is an '88. Was feeling pretty old when a car buddy of mine said "Hey, one more year and it's technically a classic".........especially because we used to road trip in an e150 conversion of the same era. Then the salvage yard guys responses were "We aren't going to have anything that old". I started the project and will take some pics as I go to post.
