Paint it so the sun won't kill it as fast

I like it and probably as safe as a gear shift lever on a manual transmission between a middle seat riders legs.

Uhhh, my son or my wife or someone I care about very much will be the one that is sitting in front of that thing. Perhaps you don't care about your passengers. I care about mine.

"Who cares about crashing a square body?" That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever read on this forum.

Dude- Where is your gas tank. Are you sitting on it? I don't think the cup holder is a major consideration. You go thirsty.

I plan on painting, also might put some molding on the inside hole where the cup sits. The person I bought it from offers powder coating, but I choose to paint it with the same color I used to paint the trim in the 85C10.

No. Never seen one exactly like that and I personally would not, could not use that one. When both of my roommates ride with me I would NOT want that thing to add to the trauma if we were to have a wreck. These old trucks have no airbags and the center seat belt is only a lap belt. That thing looks like it would permanently damage flesh if we were to crash.

It does look well made and the craftsman has my respect. It also looks a bit heavy for the ashtray to support.

This was my choice. It is not perfect but it is better than nothing.

You bring up a good point. Just a simple front end collision at not a high rate of speed could really do some damage to the middle passenger's knees. It'd be a real shame if someone lost the use of their legs due to a common fender bender.

I like What you did with the dash

I have tried these that go in the ash tray.
Do not recommend. Bend the ash tray. Not really sturdy. Shake a lot.
Recommend a floor mounted one. You can still reach it while driving and they are much more sturdy.

Yup. Same here. I used it for about a week and tossed it in the trash. Garbage concept.

Yes I do. was made for the 73-87 C10's. The guy I bought it from lives in Tennessee, Scott Lawson on marketplace. Made from 1/8" sheet metal. You take the ash tray out and this takes it's place.

You should paint it green and get some color in there.

That dash was in terrible shape, tried to follow the dash refurbish thread, I failed horribly. I took some headliner material and glued it to the dash then spray painted it. This is just temporary until I find a better one.

Added a flat bottom and some trim.
