Product Description
1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab Short Bed w/ Molding: Upper Rocker Trim, 6 Pieces, 5.5" (TH39181)
TH39181 is tagged narrowly: "2-door, Pickup Truck, 1500, Regular Cab, Short Bed, w/ molding," for the 1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado. It's six pieces of polished stainless steel, an Upper Kit 5.5" wide that "Spans from the bottom of the molding DOWN to the specified width."
Five tag details to match
- Years 1999-2002.
- Silverado 1500.
- Two-door regular cab only.
- Short bed.
- For trucks with body-side molding.
The molding matters most: this kit hangs from it, so a truck without molding isn't what the record describes.
The group around it
TH39182 is the same six-piece 5.5" Upper Kit tagged for the regular cab long bed. The extended cab kits in this group are a different type: TH39185 and TH39186 are seven-piece Lower Kits, also 5.5", that rise from the door bottom instead of hanging from the molding. A two-piece door sill trim, DS39181 (2.875" wide), is tagged regular cab and is also linked; check its listing for finish and fit.
Six pieces on a regular cab
The record doesn't describe the layout. Use the product photos to sort the six before peeling any liner.
Material
The 1999-2002 Silverado 1500 Regular Cab short bed with molding takes six 5.5" strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, set below the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the truck.
Molding check
Press along the molding. Any loose clip or lifting end needs fixing first, because the top of the steel follows it exactly.
Preview
Run a strip of painter's tape five and a half inches below the molding on a front door. That's the bottom edge of the finished trim.
Cleaning
Wash and dry the band below the molding and wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Repair any flaking paint inside it.
Fitting
- Dry-fit each piece with painter's tape, top edge snug under the molding.
- Pull a few inches of liner and fix one end in place.
- Keep pressing the piece down while the liner peels away.
- Firm pressure over the whole face.
Doors
Then open both doors fully and inspect the edges.
Tools
Tools: tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and lint-free towels.
Care
No wash for a full day.
Silverado spacing
Measure each piece's position from the door edges so the spacing stays even.
Before ordering
Check the 1500 badge, the regular cab, the short bed and the molding. If your truck is newer than 2002, this record doesn't list it, so call 877-752-3811. If any of the five tag details is uncertain, a side photo settles it quickly.
Why a six-piece kit
The record gives the count but no layout, so don't assume how the pieces divide between door and cab sides. The photos show the arrangement, and that's the reference to use when dry-fitting. If a piece looks spare during the dry run, stop and call before peeling it.
Weather
Install on a dry, mild day in the shade; a cold or damp panel weakens the first grab of the tape.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
