Cup Holders??

[RJWTX]

Ok I have a delima. I have a 1992 K2500 extended cab with NV4500 5 speed. I have 95< 60/40 seats with flip up console. I have an aftermarket radio under the center dash vents, and pocket in oem radio location. I need a cup holder, preferably 2 in the front seat. Cannot put one on the floor cause I need to move the seat so the kiddos can load up, i cannot use the OEM style as it would interferewith the shifter. I have tried searching and I searched for hours over the last few days. Any one here have any ideas or leads?

Thank you

My 93 with the 5-speed came with the OEM dash-mounted cup holder - it's just moved over a few inches to make way for the shifter, putting it slightly offset to the center vents/stereo rather than directly under it. The two screw holes for both positions are present on all the 88-94 trucks regardless of whether or not they came with the cupholders or what position they were in.

I just put one of these in a truck I am fixing up right now (has a four speed, so not as much risk of interference), and it will fit as the other comment said, although I did need to drill the holes (PITA since the four speed has that additional plate sticking up). Here is a thread I came across recently that has instructions on how to do it:

Center Drink Holder

My 1993 truck has the center drink holder right under the stereo. It is a stock option and the internals are plastic and have broken, so you can put a drink in it right now without having it fall straight through. I went to the junk yard and out of the 15-25 trucks and burbs, non had the center...

Whatever you do, don't use these:

My buddy has one in a squarebody 'burb and it does a great job of NOT holding your drink. Falls off all the time too.

I have no idea where i found this picture or why its in my photos but this style works good. Also its a factory part so it might bolt right up (don't hold me to this). My 94 has it, I shouldve put a full console from an Escalade when I did the seat swap but the 95+ console works fine for me.

Stock cup holder for 88-94 trucks, the 95+ one sometimes falls out.

WHERE do you get this part? I would love it for my 92 C1500 because it has no cupholders & I would like to stay with the 60/40 bench instead of a center console.

Discussed frequently in here.. it's a factory optional part that fits 88-94 GMT400's. Available in several colors. Discontinued long ago like most other parts at this point; you can find 'em hunting through enough boneyards or from a few members here that frequent the boneyards.

Gotcha. It seems from past discussions it should bolt onto 2 of the existing dash bolts? This would really be nice

Since this seems to be a shifter clearance problem, anyone tried to change the shifter angle? Like heat and bend to where it is comfortable to shift. I remember having to do this with a aftermarket Muncie shifter in a 55 Chevy pickup. I have the OEM cupholder in my 93, but have to make sure the stereo is all the way in or the cups hit it. Some stereos stick out more than others. I personally hate the stereo mounted in the middle of the dash.

I do too. That's one reason I got rid of it.

Yes it does! I got one last month at my local yard; it's missing the plastic trim on the front though. That's how I got it; apparently they break off.....
