Product Description
Ford F-150 Extra Cab Long Bed 1997-2003 Lower Rocker Trim, 10 Stainless Pieces, 3.25" (TH37312)
TH37312 is tagged "3-door, Pickup Truck, Extra Cab, Long Bed" for the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, without flares. It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel in a Lower Kit, 3.25" wide, which "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
A door-count wrinkle in the Extra Cab kits
The two Extra Cab short bed kits, TH37302 and TH37303, list both "3-door" and "4-door" on their rows. This long bed kit and its flare twin, TH37313, list only "3-door." The record doesn't explain the difference. If your Extra Cab long bed has a door layout that doesn't match a three-door description, call 877-752-3811 before ordering rather than assuming the kit adapts.
Choosing within the group
Extra Cab long bed with flares: TH37313. Extra Cab short bed: TH37302 or TH37303 (flares). Two-door trucks: TH37308, TH37309, TH37310, TH37311. All ten pieces, all 3.25".
Height and placement
The steel's lower edge lines up with the bottom of each door; its top edge falls 3.25" above. Preview with painter's tape.
Ten pieces on a long truck
The record gives no map. Lay out the pieces, test each one against the truck with its liner on, and label where it goes. Three doors and an odd split of pieces between sides are both possible; the photos tell you.
What it's made of
For the Extra Cab long bed, QAA supplies ten polished 26 gauge 304 stainless pieces made in the USA, applied over the existing finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage.
Linked accessories
DH37304 and DH37305 are door handle cover kits tagged 2-door pickup; PP37308 is a pillar post kit tagged Crew Cab. None of the three carries this kit's cab tag, so check their listings before buying them.
Bottom-edge prep
Run a flashlight along each door bottom. Repair chips or rust bubbles; then wash, dry and alcohol-wipe the band.
Install
Flush, peel a few inches, press, continue, and finish with firm pressure.
The third door
Test the third door's piece with the liner on by opening the door through its full range.
Care
Give the F-150 trim a full day before washing.
Corresponding doors
Measure piece positions from the door edges and wheel openings and keep them consistent where the doors correspond. The record tags this cab "3-door," so the layout won't follow a simple pattern; use the photos.
Before you call
Gather the year, a description of your doors, the bed length as you know it, and square-on photos of the truck in profile. Those are enough for us to compare against the kit photos.
Tools
Clean the Extra Cab's doors with car soap and isopropyl alcohol on lint-free cloths; lay out with a tape measure, painter's tape and a marker; lift residue with a plastic trim tool. Shade and a dry, mild day are best.
If a piece doesn't match a place on the truck in the dry run, leave its liner on and call.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
