Portuguese term or phrase: baú do caminhão
Hi, guys,
It looks simple but after some research I can´t be so sure trunk applies to this case.
Other possibilities are container or trailer, but in this case I´m dealing with small trucks.

Any help?

Thanks!

English translation:box truck / box van / cube van, bob truck or cube truck
Explanation:
A box truck—also known as a box van, cube van, bob truck[1] or cube truck—is a chassis cab truck with an enclosed cuboid-shaped cargo area.[2] On most box trucks, the cabin is separate to the cargo area, however some box trucks have a door between the cabin and the cargo area.[3]

The difference between a box truck and a van is that the cargo van is a one-piece (unibody), while a box truck is created by adding a cargo box to a chassis cab
