Default Cup Holder Replacement or Repair

HI Have not been on the forum much. The old 2000 Ram 3500 has been doing great..many thanks to the experts on the forum.
Not used much this year short trips with the horses.. Mileage hit 83000

Have a few minor issues. Will post each issue in separate posts

The cup holder assembly has fallen apart. ALL the plastic hinges are broken.
Due to age heat use??
I have tried to rework a few hinges with limited luck. Now the main door hinge has broken.
So I need to try and find a complete replacement. New is impossible
So used is it - if I can find the parts.
What years will fit in a 2000?? I guess 1998/ to 2001?
Recommendations of where to start looking for the parts-assembly

Most junk yards do not have a truck that old to get parts..
Trying to figure out a way to repair the hinges but doubt it will work

Here is a link to pictures

Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
RR

Try one of the parts locator services. Car-Part.com, mintonmotors.com (or something like that) They might be able to come up with something. Other folks have just designed and built their own. There are a couple threads on that around here somewhere.

I ran a cable in the center to hold mine up, but don't even use it anymore since I got one of these https://www.genosgarage.com/product/...802/cup-holder

Thank you both
Great knowledge base - heyyou
I found the complete cup holder assembly from a yard in OH.
$50 plus UPS Ship
Sure hope the hinges are not broken. Person said its sound all OK.

I like the center console holder also.
Might order that later.

Asked about V-10 part hahaha see my other post on sensors. No V-10 at this yard...

The forum site almost never fails
Thanks again
RR

I'd look for a pick a part type yard. I got mine at one of those. I can't remember how much I paid, but it was dirt cheap. I'm pretty sure it was $5. $50 sounds like highway robbery for a used one with as common as these are.
