Product Description
S-10 Long Bed 1998-2002, No Molding, No Flares: Stainless Lower Rocker Kit 5", 10 Pieces (TH38195)
TH38195 is the only long bed kit among the four linked 1998-2002 Chevrolet S-10 rocker kits. Its tag: "2-door, Pickup Truck, Long Bed, NO Molding, NO Flares." Ten pieces of polished stainless steel, a Lower Kit 5" tall, running "from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
A plain-sided long bed
No molding, no flares. If that describes your truck and it has the long bed, this is the record's match. The other three S-10 kits are short beds: TH38188 (molding, flares), TH38190 (molding, no flares) and TH38189 (Extra Cab, molding, flares).
What if your long bed has molding or flares?
None of the linked kits is tagged for a long bed with either. The record doesn't say whether this kit works on one, so call 877-752-3811 with photos before ordering.
Same steel, different tag
Width, piece count and placement are identical across the group. Only the tag sets this one apart.
Five inches up
The lower edge rides the bottom of the door and the band rises five inches. On a truck with no molding, there's nothing above the steel to butt against, so the top line depends entirely on careful placement. Mark it with painter's tape at both ends of every piece.
Stainless facts
The S-10 long bed without molding or flares gets ten 5" strips cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, set on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape from the door bottom up. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the 1998-2002 Chevrolet.
Laying out ten
The data doesn't assign positions to the pieces. Sort them with the product photos and number the liners front to rear.
Keeping it level
Since there's no molding to follow, use a tape measure: check the top edge's height above the door bottom at each end of each piece, and keep it the same. Then sight down the side from the front bumper.
Clean-up first
Wash, dry and wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Check door bottoms for chips or rust; repair before installing.
Pressing down
Start a few inches of liner at one end, set it, and press along as you draw out the rest. Firm pressure across the face finishes each piece.
Wheel openings
With no flares, end pieces near the wheel openings sit on bare body. Dry-fit them slowly.
Afterward
Swing both doors, then leave it a day before washing.
More S-10 pieces
Hold the measured S-10 positions consistent.
Tools
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, alcohol, lint-free towels. Dry, mild weather.
Before ordering
Confirm the bed is the long one, the sides have no molding and the wheel openings have no flares. If all three hold for your 1998-2002 two-door, the tag matches. Photos sent with a call to 877-752-3811 settle any doubt in a few minutes.
Gauge your bed

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.
