Product Description
Silverado C/K 1500 Extended Cab Short Bed Dually, 1992-1998: Ten-Piece 6.25" Full Rocker Kit (TH32178)
TH32178 is the dually version among the linked 1992-1998 Silverado C/K 1500 kits. Its fitment reads "2-door, Pickup Truck, C/K 1500 Extended Cab, Short Bed, Dually," and the kit itself is ten pieces of polished stainless steel at 6.25", a Full Kit that "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
A door-count tag to be aware of
This record tags the Extended Cab as 2-door. Two of the linked Extended Cab kits, TH32185 (short bed) and TH32186 (long bed), are tagged 4-door. The data doesn't explain the difference, so don't use the door count alone to choose. What sets TH32178 apart in its tags is the word Dually. If your Extended Cab short bed is a dually, this is the listing written for it; if you're unsure how your truck should be described, call 877-752-3811.

The band
The steel starts at the bottom of the side molding and ends at the bottom of the door, six and a quarter inches in all. Measure that distance on your truck. A big difference from 6.25" is a sign to call before ordering.
Steel and mounting
QAA forms the ten Silverado pieces in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, and they attach to the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage.
Ten pieces, positions not given
Unpack on a clean surface and sort the ten pieces using the photos. The record doesn't say where each one goes, so match them to the photos and mark the liners. Take a quick picture of the layout for reference.
Where dually trucks need more care
Whatever pieces sit nearest the rear wheel openings, dry-fit them with special attention. They should end where the photos show, not press against anything.
Old paint, clean surface
Lower doors on these trucks have seen decades of grime. Wash, dry, and wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh cloth comes up clean. Repair any paint that flakes.
Mounting
Seat the top edge under the molding with the liner in place and look along the truck. Then peel a corner, press it, and draw the liner out while pressing. Open and shut the door before moving on.
On the day
Dry, mild weather and a few unhurried hours. Leave it dry for about a day. Afterward, rinse the lower sides when they get muddy and use only a non-abrasive metal polish on the steel; harsh wheel cleaners and stiff brushes are best kept away from it.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 10 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
