I have a nice '96 F350 XL Crew Cab that I enjoy driving. Nech seats, no cnsole, so no place to set mycoffee in the morning. I've loked at Pep Boys for a suitable cup holder of some kind, but nothing fits the floor hump due to the angle. Is there a good OE or aftermarket item that will give me a stable place to set my coffee cup ? Texas Parts Guy
You could do what I did. Make your own. The trick with my truck ('03 ranger) was getting the curve right for the hump, but I used thin cardboard to get a pattern, and then cut it out of 1 inch pine stock.

I could do that. In fact I have a wooden one for my F150 that I do not use. I culd probably modify that. But the interior is all grey plastic and black rubber. Oddly, I'd prefer plastic so it would match ;) Texas Parts Guy
Make patterns out of cardboard for it and then find a tin banger (sheet metal shop) to bend/build one for you. Have it upholstered or powdercoated to match the existing interior.

I could fab it myself. I was hoping someone knew of an OE r aftermarket option that worked really well. I figured the XLT version f this truck had to have a cupholder of some kind. I mean, it's un-American! Texas Parts Guy
Hit up the wrecking yards. There's GOT to be a wrecked truck out there with a center console.
Have ya tried JC Whitney?
To each his own. That makes America great. :-)
I just like the touch of wood in there. Seems to connect to something more "organic" than plastic or steel.

All the OE consoles I've seen were used with bucket seats. This would have to go on the hump between seat and dash.

No, mostly because I'd rather see it before I buy it. Texas Parts Guy
My bad. I didn't know you had the bench seat.
hehe, I hear ya..
