Product Description
Dodge Ram 1994-2001 Short Bed Upper Rocker Kit: Ten Pieces, 5.625" Below the Molding (TH34924)
TH34924 is an Upper Kit for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram tagged "Pickup Truck, Full Size, Short Bed." It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel, 5.625" wide, and the span note reads "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Upper versus Full, same truck
TH34920 is tagged for exactly the same truck. The difference is coverage. TH34920 is a Full Kit, 8.75", running from the molding to the bottom of the door. This kit stops 5.625" down, which is a little over three inches shy of the Full Kit's figure. The band below the steel stays painted.
Preview it with tape
Before deciding, run a strip of painter's tape along each door 5.625" below the molding. Step back. Above the tape is where the steel will be; below is paint. If you'd rather see steel all the way down, choose TH34920. If you like the two-tone look, this is your kit.
The rest of the group
Upper Kits for other tags: TH34925 (Full Size, long bed), TH34926 (Extra Cab, short bed), TH34927 (Extra Cab, long bed). Full Kits: TH34921, TH34922, TH34923. All are ten pieces.
Linked parts
PP34920 is a two-piece pillar post kit, WZ34920 a four-piece wheel well fender trim molding ("Short Style"), and WZ34921 a four-piece wheel well molding ("Full Length," tagged 1500 and 2500). Check each listing for its finish.
Steel and tape
Built for the 1994-2001 Ram short bed, ten 5.625" pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from a USA shop go under the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the pickup.
The visible lower edge
With an Upper Kit, the bottom edge of the steel meets paint in plain view, so it has to run straight. Keep the painter's tape line in place as a guide while you install, and check each piece against it.
Prep
Wash, dry, and wipe the band with isopropyl alcohol. Touch up chips that fall within the area the steel will cover, and let the paint cure before installing.
Mounting
Label the ten pieces with the photos. Dry-fit each, peel a little, set the top edge against the molding, and press toward the far end.
Molding check
The molding is the reference for the top edge. Press along it on each door; if a stretch lifts or wanders, fix it before you start, or the steel will copy the wave.
Start and end readings
As you go, measure each piece's start and end from the door edges and keep them consistent. Then look at the truck from the front and rear corners to compare.
Supplies
Soap, isopropyl alcohol, clean cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure, a marker and a plastic tool.
Care
Wait a day before washing. Use mild soap and a soft towel, and skip abrasive pads.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
