Product Description
1994-1997 S-10 Short Bed Pickup Rocker Trim: Ten Pieces at 4.75" (TH34188)
If your 1994-1997 Chevrolet S-10 is a regular cab short bed, TH34188 is the 4.75" stainless rocker kit QAA lists for it. The record calls it a Full Kit of ten pieces. Its notes read "With molding" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door," and both fitment rows are tagged 2-door, Short Bed, one of them also listing Pickup Truck.
Short bed versus the rest
Before anything else, rule out the look-alikes. TH34187 carries identical notes and width but is tagged long bed. TH34189 is identical again but tagged Extra Cab, short bed. A regular cab with the shorter box is this page. A different pair, TH34194 (Full Kit) and TH34199 (Upper Kit), lists 5" and the note "QAA Molding" instead of "With molding." TH34194 also shares this page's short bed tag, which makes it the closest neighbor: same truck description, a quarter inch wider, a different molding note.
Choosing between 4.75" and 5"
Since TH34188 and TH34194 are tagged for the same pickup, let your truck decide. Measure from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door at the front and rear of each door. Then call 877-752-3811 with the readings and a photo of the truck in profile. The record doesn't explain the difference between "With molding" and "QAA Molding," so call and we'll compare your numbers.
About the GMC listing
The fitment rows and the title also list a GMC S-15 Jimmy for 1994-1997 under the same pickup tags. If you drive a GMC, check with us by phone first.
What arrives
The S-10 and S-15 short bed with molding gets ten pieces that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, all secured by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the pickup.
Sorting the pieces
The record doesn't say where each of the ten goes. Lay them on a blanket and match shapes to the photos. Number each liner with painter's tape before you start.
Getting the surface ready
Wash the lower doors and let them dry fully. Wipe the strip under the molding with isopropyl alcohol twice. Check for chips and loose edges on the molding itself; secure anything loose so the steel has a straight line to follow.
Fitting each piece
Test-fit first with the liner on. When it sits right, peel back the first few inches, tuck the top against the molding, and press. Pull the liner gradually and smooth toward the far end.
Keeping the S-10 even
After the first piece is on, measure where it starts and ends and keep those marks for the rest of the kit.
After installing
Cycle both doors. Wait a day before the first wash, then use mild soap and a soft towel. Skip abrasive pads; they scratch polished steel.

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.
