English term or phrase: Pin box

Est-ce possible, qu'en anglais américain, "pin box" signifie "tableau de bord"?
Contexte:
Dealers are to remove the current VIN tag or Federal tag on the exterior front roadside of the fifth wheel and add the new tag. Also, the dealer should grind off or deface the current VIN stamped on the frame at the pin box area and paint the area black. Then, weld the new VIN data plate on top of or near the same area using the data plate supplied by XXXXXXX.

boîte d'attelage/dispositif d'attelage?

Explanation:

Il semblerait plutôt s'agir d'une "boîte de jonction" entre la semi-caravane et le camion dont on se sert pour la remorquer.
