That's not really what I'd call ground effects. It's more of a runningboard/fender-flare setup. Maybe try different search terms that contain fiberglass runningboard and fender flare?

I love those running boards! I usually call them skirts, or side skirts. Sadly, not very many people make them anymore. I did see some on Auto Accessory Super Store for over $800 for the pair!! 
Definitely not worth it, imo.
Most of these skirts came on Custom Conversion trucks. Some good info on this thread: https://www.gmt400.com/threads/where-can-i-find-these-oem-running-boards-body-kit.37371/
I actually found some at a salvage yard, they were an ECSB set off of a 94, custom conversion truck of course. I grabbed them for $20, I just had to snatch them before anyone else would, plus, the truck was crushed like a month later, so I'm glad I grabbed them. So if I were you, salvage yard is the best place to find them, or Craigslist.

Just say no, brother. Haha.
But in all seriousness, as the guy above me said, most of the companies that made this kind of stuff have long gone under. I get guys coming into work asking for them a couple times a year and I can't get them anywhere.

Is STILL Here?
Yeah, the styling is definitely aged, but I can't knock it for nostalgia sake. Maybe it's just seeing the conversion trucks growing up. 15x10's on all fours, flares, running boards, flashy streamer vinyl decals, and almost-classy-but-tacky wood interior bezels and cupholders. 
The company that produced those skirts was Southern Comfort. They are still in business but only produce for newer models now. I believe it was a "Southern Comfort Coach" edition were the company outfitted some trucks along with wood grain interior pieces...If I'm not mistaken.
There's 4 pieces total you'll need and they are hard to find.
As one stated..best place will most likely be a salvage yard. That's were I found 3 of the 4 pieces I have and I'm searching for the 4th. I think I have $50 in total. I actually did find a set on CL's months ago but the guy didn't want to ship since they are long and flimsy.
Good luck

I agree, the wood trim (with some other hidden interior goodies), skirting, aftermarket wheels, and the custom paint made these nostalgic for sure. Damnit, I need to get a 3rd truck, I've got everything I need to build a conversion!
