Question:
I have a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab 4-door pick up, and I need the replacement hardware for a set of Westin Platinum Series 3 round Nerf bars. The bar runs from behind the front wheel to the rear of the cab. I am not sure exactly what model number I have but I do know they are stainless steel. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

From the picture you provided, it looks like you have the Westin E-Series 3" Round Nerf Bars # 23-1680 which is confirmed to fit your 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab. The correct replacement hardware kit is # 23-168PK.
If your running boards are the Westin Signature Series 3" Round Nerf Bars # 25-1680, they will be chrome plated steel rather than stainless steel, and the correct part for the hardware kit is # 25-168PK.
One way you can tell if they are stainless or chrome is to get a magnet. Stainless will not have a magnet stick to it, but chrome plated steel will.
