Product Description
2000-2006 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab Long Bed, Full Length Upper Rocker Kit, 12 Pieces, 5.5" (TH40173)
TH40173 is tagged "4-door, Pickup Truck, Extended Cab, Long Bed" for the 2000-2006 Chevrolet Silverado. It's twelve pieces of polished stainless steel, a 5.5" Upper Kit marked "Full Length," hanging from the bottom of the molding.
A record to compare carefully
QAA also catalogs Silverado extended cab Full Length Upper Kits at the same 5.5" that are tagged "3-door" and come with eleven pieces; they aren't linked to this record. This one says four doors and twelve pieces. The door count is the clue: count the doors on your extended cab. If you see four, this record fits the description. If you see three, or the year falls outside 2000-2006, call 877-752-3811 before ordering so we can point you to the right listing.
Its short bed partner
TH40174 is the only kit linked here: same twelve pieces and width, tagged short bed. The record splits them by bed without saying what changes, so order by your bed.
Placement
"Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width." The top edge meets the molding and the steel reaches five and a half inches below. "Full Length" says the run is long, but the exact start and end points aren't spelled out; the product photos show them.
Material
QAA makes the twelve Full Length Silverado pieces in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and fixes them over the existing paint with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't damage the truck.
Twelve pieces
Positions aren't mapped in the data. Lay them out with the photos in order from front to rear and label every liner. Fit the cab pieces first; they set the line for the rest.
Molding
Every piece tucks under it. Press along the molding the full length of the truck and re-secure anything loose.
Prep
- Wash below the molding, front to back.
- Dry thoroughly.
- Alcohol-wipe the band.
- Repair any flaking paint in the band.
Applying
Test-fit with painter's tape. Peel a few inches of liner, set the end, and press along as you draw the rest out. Firm pressure across each finished piece.
Joints and gaps
At each panel gap, line up the next piece's top edge with the one before it.
Rear doors
Open them fully after their pieces are on and check the edges.
Silverado joint landmarks
Hold every Silverado position to the measurements.
Supplies
Extended Cab supplies: car soap, isopropyl alcohol and microfiber towels to clean; a tape measure, painter's tape and a marker for layout. Choose a dry, mild day.
Upkeep
Wash after a day; mild soap.
What to send when you call
The year, a count of the doors, the bed length and a photo of the whole side showing the molding. Those four tell us which of the extended cab records matches your truck.
Preview
A strip of painter's tape five and a half inches below the molding on the front door shows how much paint stays visible below the finished band.

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.
