What is everyone with bench seats doing for cup holders?

What do you have or use and what will it fit cup wise?

I'm starting to use my suburban a little more but in the 10 years I drove my blazer I always had a cup holder and would like something in the new truck.
 
IN all seriousness most folks just get a bench seat aftermarket console. Available online anywhere. Two cup holders and a small area to put stuff. They work OK
 
3" conduit clamp screwed to the dash or door works..

I used two in my VW Jetta,screwed to the tranny hump..

I dont bother trying to drink anything in my '82 K2500,--you'll end up wearing it,it rides like a dump truck..it has a cheap plastic aftermarket cup holder that also holds cassette tapes screwed to the tranny hump,its only used as a clutter collector though..
 
For off-road and Dually trucks I bought an offshore boat cup holder. Laugh but it seriously worked. It was the one with the pivoting head? Google it damn it. Screwed it to the dash somewhere and worked like a champ. Got the truck on a steep angle? Drink just stays level.

Cup holders anger me :angry1:. My crew cab ford has aftermarket front seats so with the middle flipped down there are some shitty shallow cup holders but when you have 2 adults and 4 kids in it there is not one cup holder anywhere. My crew cab chevy has zero cup holders but we only use that on the farm now. On my ford, I talked to our sheet metal guy at work and he builds some neat cup holder/center consoles for our big trucks. I'm gonna have him build me a rectangle box with two holes for cup holders and try to mount it cleanly into the top of the dash so I can at least hold two drinks. Might try to come up with some kind of pvc or aluminum home made ones to mount by the wing windows for all my vehicles. Those clip on crappy plastic ones suck.
 
I found them when I was going through my dad's stuff for the estate sale... They're going in my yellow truck. Funny part is, as old as they are they're still unused lol
 
In my Big Ugly thread from...geez...ten years ago I put two full down cupholders I got from boaters world onto the dash cover. They folded down and had arms that sprung out and adjusted.
