So I have a busy day, get hungry but have little time for a sit down lunch, I head over to the food truck and grab something decent-ish on the go, back to my desk while I chow down and catch up on emails.
So I have a busy day, need some quick design work, little time for a sit down meeting with a proper firm, so I head over to the design truck and order a decent-ish logo and some business cards, head back to my desk and catch up on some mails and cry in my cubicle over what my life has become as I've just ordered design work from a food truck.

Stupid unless you want change the idea to "drawing caricatures" at some event. Like those guys in the mall.

I think it might be kind of a not so good idea. If you did get a gig for a short time with a firm you are still going to have to park the truck somewhere. Depending on where they are located you might have to work in the parking lot or on the street, someone might want you to pay for that somewhere down the line.
Also people might be knocking on the window and asking you all the time "what do you serve?"
If you went client direct then I could see it being a bit better as you would be on site for them to see your progress or to ask you questions. The downside for you would be that you are on site and the client would be constantly checking your progress and asking you questions.

could work if you displayed what you were working towards and and to continue working on this displayed project, people passing by could put in $$$

A good buddy of mine started a video studio that he called 'More Burritos,' and worked out of a sprinter van in Los Angeles. I think it's a great idea for that use case because you can shoot on set, and work near your client while you edit.
The only drawback I saw was: even though he had 2 AC units it was still hot AF in the thing (he got a black van tho).
He ended up folding. But it was probably more a case of issues he was dealing with rather than it being a bad idea.
