Hey guys. After spilling my R44 Coke this morning I'm thinking about cup holders. Any suggestions that doesn't look modern?

Carry only a sealed water bottle!

Roll of duct tape on the floor works.

holds yer cup, rests yer elbow, holds yer stuff......

There are venders that sale two hole cup holders that slip into your ash tray slot, but they cover part of your radio space. I took one of them and screwed it to a 2 by 4 which I anchored under the middle of my seat so it sticks just in front of the seat above the hump.

ZEKE68 · 08-23-2018, 08:43 PM

Cup holder, moves with the seat.

**Boog** · 08-24-2018, 05:20 AM

Two 20 oz instead?

68is4me · 08-24-2018, 09:44 AM

I am going to use a cup holder off an 99-06 gm pickup with a bench seat. It has a nice bracket that will bolt to the underside frame on the 68 and sit right in the middle. I am also going to paint it to match the interior. This is not the best picture but is really close.

I have a cheap plastic autozone cup holder, knick knack console on the floor.

**special-K** · 08-25-2018, 06:46 AM

I don't even know what an R44 Coke is.

**Boog** · 08-25-2018, 06:53 AM

Good morning Tim. That would be a "Route 44" drink from Sonic driveins. It's their gondo huge one.

Over abbreviated, huh? I would have known if it was rt44, or had a clue anyway. Rt stands for route, r stands for any word that starts with r

These humongous buckets of soda pop they sell these days don't work well with cup holders anyway. Between the legs or have your honey hold it

RustyBucket posted a pic of what you need...I started out using the plastic window hangers...the complete absence of cubby holes in my ‘67 drove me to the console solution. You do need a center seat belt (or maybe just rope) to hold it in place, though....

Moose Monkey · 08-26-2018, 09:14 PM

This is mine.

I mounted an old coffee can to the hump. Put it a little ways behind the shifter, checked to make sure I could still get my coffee in and out when I'm in second and fourth gears, and tacked it in place with a few #8 self-drilling screws.
