Has anyone got a good cup holder? Have you tried the ones that go in place of your ashtray and if so do they work

 

This just came up in the 80-86 truck area https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...oon-boats.html
The wife I hope just ordered one in red for my 81 F100.
Water bottles roll off the seat and then I can get to it so I hope this fixes that.

A buddy used 2 3" metal header collector gaskets to make 2 cup holders.
He used tubes to raise them up to where the cup sits on the floor but still keep from falling over.
Long screws go thru the gasket bolt holes the tubes into the tranny hump, it is a auto truck, mine is a manual and too nice to do the gasket one.

Thanks for the link, those look like they would work great. When I had a 78 F100 I had one of the classic console bench cruisers which was perfect but right now that option would be around $400 so these look real good.

 

Still waiting for mine to come but I thought for the price it could not be beat.

Has anyone tried this or something similar? I was thinking of ordering one for our 59 and my lawn tractor.

 

I bought a magnetic cup holder from Harbor Freight. It works great on my tractor.
