Re: Jim's 1969 Custom/20

MORE AND MORE MISCELLANEOUS FIXITS (2 of 8)

Cup Holder and Waste Basket

I needed something for my coffee because I was making a mess setting my thermos and cup on my new seat covers. I also needed some place to toss the trash. The ashtray is way too small and besides, I use it to set my iPod on.

I built a two-cup holder out of wood and attached it to the floor mat with silicone adhesive. I bought a small paint bucket at Home Depot, painted it, and attached it to the cup holder with magnets.

Door Handles

When I got the truck, a couple of handles were missing so I bought repro ones. They work OK but aren’t as stout as and lack the contours of originals. I bought two each window cranks and door openers from KrazyRay on the Parts Board, cleaned them up, and used the best ones in place of the CS repro ones.
