Thumbs up

Sorry about bumping this. The factory holder is junk and I was actually searching for a gauge mount to replace the in-dash drink holder. ATS Diesel lists one but they want an arm and leg for it and I have yet to get any confirmation that it's really what they claim -- waiting on an e-mail from them hopefully with the requested photo.

I looked at various 3rd party offerings like the Smoothie and they sure are proud of them!

I found the thing below and think it's a flat out winner, and CHEAP!



A couple more photos of this and more description in my gallery.

I am pretty sure I still have the box and can maybe get the brand or something -- it's out in Texas though if I still have it. Will annotate the photo or follow up with a message if I can help with locating these.

UPDATE:

This is a 'Made for Wal-Mart' item so there is not brand however, here is what I did find out:

UPC : 8 02239 00002 4
NAME: Deluxe Backset Drink & Meal Holder
