Product Description
1987-1997 Ford F-150 Crew Cab Long Bed Full Kit, 6", 12 Pieces (TH17320)
TH17320 is a twelve-piece Full Kit for the four-door Ford F-150 Crew Cab with the long bed, model years 1987 through 1997. Each piece is polished stainless steel, the listed width is 6", and the note reads "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
Full Kit or Lower Kit for the Crew Cab
QAA lists two rocker kits for this exact truck. Both are twelve pieces. TH17320 (this one) fills the whole 6" band between the molding and the door bottoms. TH17321 is a 3" Lower Kit that starts at the bottom of the door and rises three inches, leaving the area above it uncovered. Choose by how much steel you want and whether your molding is in place, since this Full Kit uses the molding as its top edge.

Twelve pieces, four doors
The record doesn't say how the twelve pieces are split between doors and body. The photos show the layout. Before starting, number every piece with painter's tape.
Material
QAA makes the twelve F-150 pieces in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel.
Mounting
For the F-150 Crew Cab, the twelve 6" pieces mount directly on the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, it will hold for a lifetime without harming the Ford.
Measure the band
On a front and a rear door, measure from the molding's lower edge to the bottom of the door. Six inches is what the kit is listed for. Call 877-752-3811 if your numbers differ much, or if the molding is gone.
Surface check on an older truck
Tape can only hold onto sound paint. Look for rust bubbles, flaking or cracked filler on the lower doors and cab, and repair them first. Oxidized paint should be polished to a firm finish.
Cleaning
Wash, dry, then isopropyl alcohol over the whole band, including the inside corner under the molding.
Installing twelve pieces
Dry-fit a full run of pieces first, liners on. Confirm that every top edge meets the molding, every joint is even, and both doors on that side open freely. Then peel and press one piece at a time. Line up the remaining joints with the ones you've already set.
Kit choice in one line
Want the whole band below the molding covered? TH17320. Want a three-inch line along the bottom of the doors instead? TH17321. Both are listed for this same Crew Cab long bed.
What to have
To fit the F-150 kit, gather soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a tape measure.
Plan for it
Allow a good part of a day, ideally warm and dry, and recruit a helper. No washing for about a day.
Care
Rinse salt off the lower body in winter and polish occasionally with a non-abrasive product.

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.
