What year is your truck? there is a cup holder console setup that clips under the lid of your factory console. It holds two cups and a space in the center. Maybe someone else has installed a custom built unit.

OK. Same as mine. I don't know of any prebuilt consoles you can buy. I assume you mean something for your floorboard as there is one already built into your middle front seat. You could mock something up out of cardboard and then transfer your design to wood or metal and fab it up from there. Design ideas could be endless.

iwhitene built a nice looking one awhile back. Can't find the link for it, but go to his profile and click on his photo link on the bottom, seem to remember him having pics in there. I know someone else built on too....but for the life of me can't remember now. Sure they'll chime in.

Yea, I built one too. Along with my sub box. It's not as well built as iwhitne's, but it works. There isn't really much of a "plan". You just measure, cut, and go from there. It's up to you how you want the end design to look, so lots of planning is needed. But they really, really look good and take up that empty space where the cupholder used to be. I think it's definently worth it.
