Cup holders?

Recently in another thread someone was showing us their cupholders in their classic Fords. Here is what is use in my 55F350. It is a small plastic storage bin. I normally put my water jug in it when I am mowing and cover it with a towel. On my way to Lowe's I stuffed the towel in the bin and made a place for my Snapple.

Hi Abe,

Here are some pictures of the console/cup holder I have in the F3.
Because the '48-'52 seat is so short, it can't go in the middle of the seat without interfering with 2nd and 4th gear shifting. (look at where my shifter **** is for 4th gear) But it goes fine pushed over a bit to the passenger side.
I bought it on E-bay about a year ago. It's very good quality and the seller had a large array of stock material colors. He built them on demand for non-common colors like mine.
It cost about $150 with shipping and if desired can be strapped down to the seat. It came with a strap but I haven't used it yet. At first I thought it was a lot of money but then I remembered how my F2 didn't have cupholders and I spilled a root beer can on the new fabric and that stain never came out.

The bad news is that I can't find it for sale on E-Bay anymore. Maybe someone here can locate a seller based on the pictures here. If anyone can find it, I would recommend this type of console.
Tom

I plan to use this a lot on the 1,000 mile trip to the Penn Truckstock in September.

Trique Manufacturing (think Altman latch) and Eddie Motorsports (https://www.eddiemotorsports.com/category-s/168.htm) make some nice drop-in cupholders now.

I'm using the 40/20/40 bench seat from a 2006 Dodge Dakota with the center 20% part from a 2000 Dakota. The 2000 Dakota center portion had a built-in cup holder which the 2006 did not. I picked the 2006 seat because the head rest is removable which it is not on the 2000 seat. Here is a picture of a 2000 seat in a 48-50 F1 and you can see the cup holder extended out with a cup in it.

This is the company CCE. They were at the Grand Nationals and probably will be at the Supers Nationals this fall. I was going to get one but none of their holders held my coffee cup. The cups for the drinks were either too big or too small

In my old truck I had a plastic cupholder like this one which was held to the floor by a magnet I purchased from harbor freight. Worked pretty well.

Picked this up from the parts store for $15, trimmed to fit ,added some structure support ( weight ) and padding. Wedges in nicely under the seat frame for stability and is easily reached and removable. Don't know about the splash factor yet but....
