Product Description
12-Piece Rocker Kit for the 1992-1999 Silverado C/K 1500 Crew Cab Centurion Short Bed (TH32188)
TH32188 fits the short-bed Crew Cab Centurion: Chevrolet Silverado, 4-door pickup, C/K 1500 Crew Cab Centurion, Short Bed, 1992-1999. Twelve pieces of polished stainless steel at 6.25" form a Full Kit from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door.
The short-bed Centurion
Among the linked Centurion kits, this is the only one tagged short bed. The long-bed versions are TH32175 (no dually) and TH32189 (dually), both twelve pieces at the same width. The record doesn't describe a physical difference between short and long bed kits; the tags are what tell them apart. If your Centurion is a dually, call 877-752-3811, since this listing isn't tagged dually.
Not an Extended Cab kit
TH32187, also linked, is a ten-piece kit for the Extended Cab long bed dually. Different cab, different listing.
Specification
Twelve pieces, 6.25". The 1992-1999 C/K 1500 Crew Cab Centurion short bed kit is USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, carried below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, it will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the truck.
Measure first
From the underside of the molding to the bottom of a door should be about six and a quarter inches. Check a front and rear door on your truck. If either is far off, call before ordering.
Twelve pieces, four doors
The record doesn't spell out where the twelve go. Lay them out, match them to the photos and to each door, and write the position on each liner. Photograph the layout.
Prep
- Wash, rinse and dry
- Isopropyl alcohol across the band, several passes
- Close attention right under the molding
- Painter's tape test on older paint; repair any lifting
The molding as a guide
Press along it on every door. It needs to be firm and straight, since every piece's top edge follows it.
Mounting the pieces
Start at the front door. Dry-fit, then peel a short length, tuck the top under the molding, press, and work back. Shut each door gently and listen for rubbing before moving to the next.
Joint spacing
On a four-door truck there are more joints to line up. As you go, measure each joint's distance from the nearest door gap and keep those distances consistent. Then check the line from the front of the truck.
Tools and time
Soap and a bucket, isopropyl alcohol, lots of clean cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure and a plastic tool. Twelve pieces usually take a few hours when done carefully, so don't start late in the day.
When to call
If a piece won't sit flat during the dry-fit, or the top edge won't tuck under the molding, stop and phone us with a photo before peeling the liner.
Afterward
Install in dry, mild weather and give it about a day before washing. A non-abrasive metal polish handles spots later.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 12 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.
