The note on the record reads "Includes pieces between the wheel wells only."
Crew Cab, short bed: three options on this sheet
If you own a Crew Cab short bed Super Duty from these years, you'll see more than one Crew Cab short bed listing here, and they aren't the same product.
MI48323 (this kit): 10 pieces, 2.25 inches, between the wheel wells only.
MI48325: a 4-piece insert kit at 1.313, tagged with "NO Molding." It's a different kit with a different width and piece count.
AT48323: a 14-piece body side molding accent trim with the notes "Upper - 6.75" wide" and "PRTH ACCENT." The catalog doesn't explain the second note.
The catalog doesn't spell out which situation each one is meant for beyond those tags. Compare the photos of all three with your truck, and if it isn't clear, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with MI48323.
Scope of the kit
"Between the wheel wells only" limits the kit to the molding between the front and rear wheel wells. The record doesn't name a position for each of the ten pieces; the photos show the layout and what's included.
Measure the molding face
A 2.25 inch strip needs a molding face at least that wide to sit on cleanly. Run a ruler across one of the moldings between your wheel wells and compare the result with the strip width and the photos before you order. If the face looks narrower, call first.
Material and mounting
26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. The strips are attached with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and install directly over the existing surface; no drilling.
Install
Check each molding for damage or old adhesive first. Wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Sort the ten strips by the photos and write positions on the liners. Dry-fit with the liners on, mark the ends with painter's tape, peel, place and press firmly along the length. Fit a few strips and sight along them before moving on. Temperature range and full steps are on the Installation tab.
Rocker kits on the sheet
Four rocker panel lower kits at 5.5 are shown, each noted as spanning from the bottom of the door up to the specified width. TH48323, at 10 pieces, carries the same Crew Cab short bed tag as this kit. TH48320 is 8 pieces for the Regular Cab long bed, and TH48321 and TH48322 are 10 pieces for the Extra Cab short and long beds. MI48320, the 8-piece Regular Cab long bed insert kit, also appears. TH48324 through TH48327 and WZ48320 are listed by number only.
Clean the ten strips with mild soap and a soft cloth, no abrasives. Questions? 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim 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.
