Product Description
9.25" Rocker Kit for the 1992-1998 Silverado C/K 1500 Regular Cab Short Bed, No Molding (TH32179)
At 9.25", TH32179 is the tallest of the linked 1992-1998 Silverado C/K 1500 rocker kits. The fitment is the Regular Cab short bed, 2-door, tagged "NO Molding." It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel, filed as a Full Kit with the note "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
The question to settle first
The truck is tagged as having no molding, and the span note measures from the molding. Those two don't line up, and the record doesn't say what the top edge follows on a truck without one. Look at the product photos and call 877-752-3811 with a picture of your door before buying.
With molding or without?
If your Regular Cab short bed does have side molding, the linked TH32181 is the 6.25" kit tagged for it without any molding condition. If it doesn't, this is the listing tagged NO Molding. That one detail is the main fork between the two.
What the record lists
- Chevrolet Silverado 1992-1998, C/K 1500 Regular Cab, short bed, NO Molding
- Ten-piece Full Kit for the regular cab
- 9.25" width
- USA-made, polished 304 stainless, 26 gauge, high quality
- Bonds to the Silverado's surface as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
Per QAA, the tape under the ten wide Regular Cab strips will hold for a lifetime without any damage to the 1992-1998 Silverado.
Measure nine and a quarter
From the bottom of a door, measure up 9.25" and mark it with painter's tape. Step back and look. That mark is roughly where the steel would reach if it rises from the door bottom, which helps you judge it against the photos.
Setting a guide line
Without a molding edge to work under, you'll want a straight reference. Once placement is confirmed, run painter's tape along the top line and check its height at the front, middle and rear of each door.
Ten pieces on a two-door
The record doesn't explain where each piece goes. Match them to the photos and label each liner before cleaning.
Surface prep
A big panel needs a big clean area. Wash, rinse and dry, then wipe the whole 9.25" band with isopropyl alcohol, changing cloths often. Fix any flaking paint first.
Install
Dry-fit each piece against your guide, liner on. Peel a few inches, set the corner, press outward from the center to push out air, and continue. Check the door after each piece.
Weather and upkeep
Pick a dry, mild day and let the truck and parts sit at a comfortable temperature first. Keep the steel dry for about a day. After that, mild soap and an occasional non-abrasive polish keep the large panels bright; wide polished surfaces show swirl marks from rough cloths, so use soft ones.

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.
