Drink holder question?

[Steve-o81]

Hi, what’s everyone using for a sturdy drink holder? Those plastic door clips holders don’t work at high speeds, neither does a floor board drink holder. I’m not hacking on anything to put a sturdier drink holder in. Right now I just throw a couple bottles of water on the passenger floor board, but is there a better way? Thanks!

Build a console.

A console or "hack stuff up" lol
I've seen some flush mount billet ones that look good and seem to work good.

Where is that picture of a beer in the work boot, riding shotgun? That works well for me. Easy install and no fabrication work.
p.s. you may want a rear window slider to throw the empties into the bed.

I built a cup holder for my 64 C10.
I bought a replacement cup holder for a Silverado off of Amazon, around $14, and cut out a steel plate the same width as the new holder and long enough to make it stick out far enough from the seat. I screwed it to the metal frame of the seat using self tapping screws. You can remove the rubber pieces from the holder and drill through the center of the plastic and into your metal plate to attach the holder to the plate. When you move the seat fore and aft, the cup holder goes with it

This cup holder and a rear view mirror are my two favorite upgrades to this truck.
I can have my spit bottle and my beer in the cup holder while looking in my rear view mirror for cops!

I have that old Igloo one in my truck. But it’s too small for most drinks so this is my next choice.
someone on here is affiliated with one similar. But I can’t remember who.

Pretty dog!! I have a 3yo black lab.


Edit: sorry to derail the thread with dog pics!

I’ve always wanted to get one of these, but I just can’t justify the cost to hold a beverage. It slides in the ashtray slot.

Exactly the same sentiment here.

Only pic I happen to have of the interior, I like this one the most. Slides on an off if I need to move the bench. Is secured with a loop around the seat, good armrest, storage and tool holder. Def not a cupholder

I will be looking at these once o am getting to the interior of my truck. I want to put it on a slider so it hides when not in use

I have one of the ashtray cupholders (cupholders by Mike on FB). An option was to add 2 usb ports under the cupholder. I spliced into the cig light power and good to go. It holds the large rtic/yeti cups too. I kept looking at buying one, but didn't want to spend the money. Now that I have, I'm glad I did.

Hmmm...that old interior looks vaguely familiar
