Cup holder for manual comanche with bench seat

[Fire4755]

Here is my custom cup holder i'll post more pics later but i made it out of 3/4 inch plywood to fill the cutout in my bench seat. I bought a 3 switch panel at pep boys and just took it apart and remounted the switches and lights in this.

Where does it go? Got any pictures of it in the truck?

i'll post more when i get the truck back its in the shop right now but it goes in the cutout in the bench seat for the manual tranny

Looks pretty simple, but something about PepBoys switches and their application next to or on a cupholder (condenstation, spills, etc.) that just isn't sitting well with me.

so far ive had it in for a while and it works fine i have to get a pic for you guys still tho but ive had no problems with the condensation.

If you flip a switch does it dispense coffee or hot chocolate? :dunno:

Wish I'd taken a pic of the one I made for my '86. '87 is columns shift so I'll have more space.

that does look great, I plan on trying this out come the warm weather, What do you have those switches wired too, just curious.

[comanche12]

that switches would be perfect to use as heated seat switch ;) but oh well maybe thats my future modification after get bucket seat someday. its easy to add heated seat pad though.

 

 

btw sweet diy of cup holder :thumbsup:

Thanks. Yea i have the one on the left hooked to fog lights and the one on the right is hooked to rear facing fog lights that i use to back up or if i need more light when I'm working on something i buck the truck over and turn them on.

Found some scrap 1/2 inch plywood laying around and decided to make my own today... Except I didn't use any pepboys switches I just cutout a notch so I can put my phone there with the monster iPod cable hooked up, pics will come later and thanks for the idea! Here's what it looked like before sanding and paint

And the final product

Does it just sit there or is there a way it's secured.? Must bounce around if your offroad correct?
