It bolted directly to the front of the seat using two strange looking "slip on for the cup holder" bolts. The bolts will screw directly into the center buddy seat storage box metal, then the cup holder assembly slips right on them. The unit (cup holder) never touches the carpet. Very sturdy unit. It was blue, so I prepped it, and shot it in semi-white/parchment color. Question: should I use it, or leave it alone? I can always take it out if I get tired of it some time. After which, you'd never know it was in there. Here's two pics (I should get pics of the attaching bolts too I guess). Ok, here's the bolts

If someone is using the buddy seat, all I have to do is pop it off the two mounting studs, and store it in the back of the seats. It's got a metal inner shell that the plastic is bradded to. It's even got a little cubby area in front for napkins, maps, or ?.

After all the inquiries, I really took a good look at the inside of the unit. I had to get a flashlight and look way up inside to see any ID. Sorry folks, it's a Ford unit. But I did pull it from a Dodge truck! Sure looked like it belonged in there, and fooled me. Same color interior and everything! So! Now that we know who made it, the question still stands. Should I use it, or not? I guess I could make up some kind of home made cup holder to put in instead of this. At least it would be made not by ma Mopar, but a Mopar fanatic!

But then again, I always make my own cup holders anyway, mostly because I haven't found anything that works very well. Several of the modern vehicles have decent cup holders, but few adapt well to older Mopars. I wouldn't be afraid of using a cup holder from any other manufacturer if it fits and works. Gene

The PO had taken what appeared to be a 1st gen Dakota slide out cup holder, and cut an opening in the dash, IIRC near (maybe above?) the glove box, and installed it into the dash. Looked OK, and appeared to work OK, but I think what made it work was that it was a non air truck, AC trucks have duct work in that area. Kind of a long reach for the driver ... It takes gasoline to interest me.

The bench version in the D100 and the tunnel version in the 73 Dart (last pic) Don�t wanna miss them any more. As a coffee junkie I love em. Many colors available, solid stuff. Costs a few bucks, but I�m fully happy with what I�ve got..
