No balls in my ash tray! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Pumkin Truck · 05-31-2002, 04:33 PM

Outside screwin around with my ash tray trying to figure out why it is so hard to pull the tray out. then i remembered that a ball fell out and i had it with the rest of my pennies. so i am thinking to myself that i am missing only one ball, well it turns out that i am missing a total of 3! Off to the junk yard. but my question is, with these balls in place, it probably would not cure the problem that i am facing. Anyone know how i can make my ash tray smoothly slide in and out? it has a tendancy to move like a see saww.

Sounds like a personal problem! (sorry i couldn't resist)

I know, it took me a while to find a topic sentence. also a while to find the words to put the story hehe.

Well I got the perfect solution to this problem but you may have tought time getting it past you better half. The solution is simple, buy yourself another truck. You know you want to and what better excuse then your current truck needs 3 balls.

LOL@Maximum Overdrive!

Yeah, I suffer from the same problem, I have no balls (in my ash tray mr. smarty pants)

1. Why are you trying to stuff your balls into the ashtray? That's probably why you're missing one...

2. You'll need at least three balls if you're going to try and slide the "honey I bought yet another truck" story past the wife.

3. I assume you mean ball bearings. You can get those at the hardware stores that have all the little specialized fasteners and crap. I think Lowes has them. Take some dial calipers with you.

jk, but how would i fix the see saw effect that i have going on? Whats the cure? But i would never get another truck to replace this one, i would simply have to re-grow dem to resurrect it's manhood!hmm.. putting in the 500cid would REALLY give it a pair! hehe

Wouldn't that pinch when you hit a bump?

I noticed Chevy Duty has a new ashtray and bracket for $20 bucks incase you want new.

A new ash tray assy. would seem to be the way to go.
