Product Description
Chevrolet S-10 Short Bed 1994-1997: 5" Stainless Rocker Full Kit, Ten Pieces, "QAA Molding" (TH34194)
TH34194 is a ten-piece polished stainless steel Full Kit for the 1994-1997 Chevrolet S-10, tagged "2-door, Pickup Truck, Short Bed." The width is 5", and the notes read "QAA Molding" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
Two kits, one truck description
The tricky part of this listing is that a linked kit, TH34188, is tagged for the very same regular cab short bed S-10. Here's how they compare according to the record:
- TH34194: 5", note "QAA Molding," Full Kit, ten pieces.
- TH34188: 4.75", note "With molding," Full Kit, ten pieces.
Neither note is explained in the catalog. "QAA Molding" could refer to a molding QAA sells, a specific molding profile, or something else; the record doesn't say, and nothing indicates a molding ships with this kit. Please don't treat the phrase as a promise of more parts in the box.
How to decide
Measure from the bottom edge of the molding to the bottom of each door at both ends. Write the numbers down and call 877-752-3811 with them and a photo of the truck's side. A quarter inch is easy to see once the steel is on, so it's worth five minutes on the phone.
Other S-10 kits on this sheet
TH34187 is the 4.75" long bed version and TH34189 is the 4.75" Extra Cab short bed. TH34199 is a 5" Upper Kit tagged Extra Cab short bed with the same "QAA Molding" note but a span that stops at its stated width rather than at the door bottom.
GMC rows
The fitment and the title also list a GMC S-15 Jimmy, 1994-1997, on the pickup rows. If yours is a GMC, phone before ordering.
Built from, held by
The ten S-10 and S-15 short bed pieces are USA-made, polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, and 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape secures them below the QAA molding. That tape, QAA states, will hold for a lifetime without harming the truck.
Clean first
Soap and water, a full dry, then isopropyl alcohol along the band under the molding. Fix chipped paint and let it cure. Press along the molding itself; any loose stretch should be reattached, since the steel's top edge follows it.
Putting it on
Label all ten liners by position using the photos. Dry-fit, then peel a few inches, place the top edge, and press outward as the liner comes off. Firm hand pressure over the whole surface finishes the bond.
Pacing the job
Fit a few pieces before you open the rest of the kit. Measure where each installed piece starts and ends relative to the door edges, then keep later pieces consistent so the truck looks even when someone walks around it.
Living with it
Let it sit a day before washing. Mild soap and soft cloths only; a non-abrasive metal polish now and then keeps the shine even.

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.
