TH38926 is for the 1998-2001 Dodge Ram Quad Cab with the short bed. It's twelve pieces of polished stainless steel, a Rocker Panel Trim Upper Kit 5.625" wide that "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Four Quad Cab kits, two choices each
QAA links four kits for this Ram, all twelve pieces. Pick your bed, then pick your height:
- Short bed, Upper Kit 5.625": TH38926 (this one).
- For the long bed, the 5.625" Upper Kit is TH38927.
- Short bed, Full Kit 8.75": TH38928.
- Long bed, Full Kit 8.75": TH38929.
Upper or Full on a short bed
This Upper Kit starts at the molding and stops five and five-eighths inches down. The short bed Full Kit, TH38928, fills the whole space from the molding to the door bottom at 8.75". If you want steel to the bottom edge, that's the one. If you want a band under the molding with paint showing below it, stay here.
Bed length matters even for rocker trim
The short and long bed kits list the same width and count, yet the record separates them. It doesn't explain why. Order the one tagged for your bed, and call 877-752-3811 if you're unsure which you have.
Construction
The 1998-2001 Ram Quad Cab short bed takes twelve 5.625" pieces that QAA forms in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, carried below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Dodge pickup.
Twelve pieces, four doors
Positions aren't given in the data. Spread the set out, use the product photos to sort it, and label every liner front to rear.
Molding check
Each piece butts up to the molding. Press along it on all four doors and re-secure any loose ends first.
The install
- Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe the band below the molding.
- Hold all twelve Ram pieces up with painter's tape first.
- Lift a few inches of liner and fix that end.
- Press along as you draw out the liner.
- Firm pressure over the full face.
Rear doors
After the rear-door pieces go on, open those doors fully and watch the edges.
Paint on an older truck
Fix flaking or chalky spots in the band before installing.
Tools
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol, towels. Dry, mild weather.
Care
Wait a day to wash the Ram, then use mild soap.
Sides
Keep the Ram's piece positions consistent.
Before ordering
Confirm four things: a 1998-2001 Ram, the Quad Cab, the short bed, and molding with at least five and five-eighths inches of space below it. If all four check out, the record matches your truck. If the molding has been replaced or removed, tell us when you call 877-752-3811, since this kit depends on it for its top line.
Preview the band
Stick painter's tape five and five-eighths inches below the molding on one front door and look from the front and side. It shows exactly how much paint stays visible below the steel.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper 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.
