Just thought I'd throw this out here for posteriosrity.
I was at the junk yard two weekend ago keeping an eye out for a newer center console for my BII, when I ran across one of the later style double cup holder in a console that looked the same as mine, sitting in the bed of a 2nd gen regular cab. The console itself was in bad shape, but the cup holder was good, so I decided to experiment.
Anyway, it works. It was a bit tight, but it just clips right in.
Before
After
So anyone that has that screwy single cup holder, yes you can upgrade without changing your whole console out.
EDIT: For those who don't know, the rubber cup holder insert in the first picture pulls out to reveal to screws in the corners. Take out those two and the two next to the coin holder, and the whole black piece just lifts out.
