Pick-up trucks are very popular vehicles. The versatility provided by the truck bed in the pick-up truck is aided by providing a truck box usually a monolithic elongat ed container fastened to the truck bed that usually spans the width of the truck bed. Eac h end of this type of truck box is supported by laterally flanking walls of the truck bed. However, once installed, these boxes occupy a considerable space and usually must be remov ed so that large items can be carried in the truck bed. The disclosed collapsible truck box provides the functionality of a fixed sized truck box but can be easily collapsed by the user to occupy a very small portion of the truck bed space. Hinged connections betwe en the lid wall, back wall, front wall and bottom wall provide this collapsing and erecting function. Preferably side walls at each end of the truck box, with each wall including its own vertically oriented hinge, further enhance the functionality of the disclose d box.
