panel truck

Enclosed cargo vehicle

A panel truck is a small delivery truck with an enclosed cargo area and no side windows behind the cab.

The name comes from the solid metal panels forming the sides, distinguishing it from vans with windows.

Panel trucks were common for commercial deliveries through the mid-20th century: The bakery's panel truck made rounds every morning.
