Cup Holders

OK, this may seem petty to many, but I was wondering if anyone has come across a good cup holder setup for these old trucks?

My bad. I just found a thread from 2018 with a post from member that included the following links with some good choices.

HOLY CRAP
Way too rich for my blood. It would almost be cheaper to have the wife come along and hold the drink for me

Check out this link for what I got in my 81 F100 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...oon-boats.html
So far works great but I have to use the hole farther back to the seat back as I have a manual and when shifting my arm will hit the drink / bottle when in the front hole.
BTW I could buy 4 for the price of the ones in you links.

If you do a search in the 80 - 86 truck area I think, there is other links but I remember a modern truck that has a holder that is bolted to the front bottom of the seat.
The "bolt" part are 2 nubs and the holder pops onto the nubs. If you have a 3rd person that needs the middle just pop the holder off the nubs and they now have room.
Mine above I can just remove off the seat but being a manual floor shift and a over drive lever there is not a lot of room for a 3rd person.

Found it, Page #2 Bootlegger and he has pictures on page #3
He said they are from 92 - 96 bench seat trucks, Ford's?
Again it would not on my truck with the floor shift manual.

Here is the cup holder in my 54 F100. It holds red Solo cups and Snapple Ice Tea bottles and anything in between. It is adjustable.

And when not needed it slides under the seat.

Mine have rubber over the magnets. Shouldn't hurt anything as long as the surface is clean

Yes, Dave, my former driver 97 F250 HD had that cup holder you describe. It was nice and handy, and would unclip from the studs on the front edge of the seat for cleaning or whatever. It's tight enough to the seat it shouldn't interfere with a floor shifter. My 87 that I drive now has a fold down center armrest in the seat with "cupholders" if you can call them that, that are about 1/2" deep. Not going to hold anything securely. I keep thinking I'll make something similar to the 97 that I can actually use but it's never made it to the front of the to do list.
