Meet the founder
Hi, I’m Jerrad, founder of Vintage Marquee Lights.
Since VML started in 2008, we’ve helped customers turn their ideas into custom pieces that feel right at home in their business or space.
You’ll work with me and my team to figure out the size, style, and details. Bring your logo, a sketch, or an idea you’re not quite sure how to explain yet—we’ll take it from there.
A custom project · STEAKSTOP
From a design to the top of the trailer.
From the first mockup to the finished red letters, this STEAKSTOP project shows how a name takes shape in steel and light. Here’s the finished piece in the shop and installed above the trailer’s service windows.

Custom Food Truck & Trailer Signage
Our custom food truck signage and trailer signage is fabricated from welded steel and designed for bold visual impact across mobile environments — from food trucks and coffee trailers to mobile bars, pop-ups, and event vendor setups. Every illuminated food truck sign is hand-built with marquee-style bulbs or LED options to maximize visibility day and night.
We can fabricate permanent, removable, or fold-down bracket options depending on how you plan to mount your sign. Final installation and mounting methods are handled by the customer or their installer based on their specific vehicle setup.
For fully integrated brand marks and dimensional metal logo builds, explore our Custom Logo Signs. Need freestanding illuminated letters for mobile displays and events? Check out our 36"/48" Stand-Up Letters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of power system do these signs use?
Yes, they plug in like a lamp and are low wattage. LEDs are available as an upgrade.
Can the sign handle travel and weather?
Yes — these signs are built from metal construction, and we can fabricate permanent, removable, or fold-down bracket options depending on your setup. Final installation and mounting methods are handled by the customer or their installer based on the specific truck or trailer.
What kind of bulbs do you use?
We use commercial-grade incandescent bulbs that give that classic warm marquee glow. Each bulb is easily replaceable, and we include extras with your order.
What's the turnaround time?
For these signs, we need 6-8 weeks from design approval to completion. This allows us to craft each sign with the quality and attention to detail your business deserves.
How do I install the sign on my truck?
Installation and mounting are handled by you or your installer based on your vehicle setup. We can fabricate bracket styles (permanent, removable, or fold-down) to match your project, and you'll choose the final mounting method that works best for your truck or trailer.
What sizes do you offer?
We can make almost any size to fit your truck or trailer. We charge by the square-inch and per color. Let us know what space you're working with and we'll design the perfect sign for you.
What size sign works best for a food truck or trailer?
It depends on available roof or fascia space. We charge by the square inch and per color, so smaller builds (2-3 letters) start lower while full-width name signs scale up accordingly. Roof-mount signs need clearance for transport, while side-mount signs can run longer. Send us your truck dimensions and we will recommend the best fit.
Can these signs be used on a truck or trailer that travels on highways?
Our signs are fabricated from welded steel, and we can provide bracket style options based on your project. Installation and mounting methods are determined by the customer or their installer to ensure proper fit for their specific truck or trailer.
Can these signs run off my truck's power system?
Yes. Our food truck signage is low wattage and plugs in like a standard lamp. Typical power draw is comparable to a small household lamp. Many vendors run them through an inverter connected to their truck battery or generator. LED upgrades are available for even lower power consumption and longer lifespan.
