    This is what totally SUX about living here. There is 1 boneyard. I swear what is out there is worse than a picked clean bone. Most of the crap they let us work on are burned out smashed up rigs.

    The nicer ones that come in - the public is not allowed to touch or take parts off of....

    :biggrin_25513:

    And..he is a crook. Wants near the KW price for parts. What the heck? Might as well get new if they will charge that much...

    Just a thought, but most truck bone yards do have enough room to park a truck, swing by one. Wont take but 30 minutes out of your day when you are on the road.

    My three '98 T-300's had the same dash layout as your W9...

    Ever try Mt. Horeb Truck Parts? Hwy 45 Truck Parts in New London?

    I've got one out of my '98 T-800, same style as the left pic stranger posted, took it out when I made one myself out of wood. Its sitting in my house collecting dust, price negotiable.....

    yah know im not trying to be a smart arse,but a handy kid a could make something out of wood,,,kind like a custom fit kind of thing,,,,,,just a thought seeing how you dont smoke and all call it a storage cup cell phone holder if you will!!! and you could either finsh the wood or use some carpet fabric,and glue and staple it to the wood,,,,,,just a thought:biggrin_25524:

    To quote John Cusack:

    "I once built a bird house, but it was condemned by the fair housing committee"

    ...that should explain why me and a hammer and some wood, just dont see eye to eye...

    that would be the way to go---making your own as dino said-
    most factoru ones wont hold a half decent sixe cup-----for the cup holder--find out how big you want--then use pvc pipe that size as a cup holder---you wont really see the pipe as most of it will be under the wood--that way you can have exactely what you want--only thing that will limit you is your imagination
