A truck box and side panel lift apparatus for a pickup truck of a type having cab and bed portions includes a toolbox that extends between the side walls of the truck bed. The apparatus includes a pair of bed side panels that are situated inside the side walls of the truck. A pair of support members are slidably coupled to front ends of bed side panels and are slidably movable between retracted configurations displaced away from the toolbox and deployed configurations positioned underneath the lateral ends of the toolbox, respectively. The apparatus includes lift assemblies coupled to the bed side panels for raising or retracting the bed side panels. The toolbox is raised simultaneously with the bed side panels but only if the support members are deployed under ends of the toolbox at the time the side panels are raised.
