RDP's Race Trucks

Dressed in a color-shifting paint job that flashes blue in some light and gray in others, Gunslinger is built to turn heads and dominate the track. Powered by a Cat Model E engine, the heart of the truck is proudly powder-coated red, white, and blue, matching its all-American attitude.

This rig isn’t just for show—it competes hard in both drag racing and sled pulling, proving its versatility and raw power. A custom grill cutout gives the front end a menacing look, while the custom mural on the back of the sleeper adds personality and craftsmanship.

Mounted on the fifth wheel is a mock .50 cal, reinforcing Gunslinger’s aggressive stance. Driven by our Shop Foreman, this Western Star doesn’t just roar—it shoots flames up to 10 feet when it lets loose.

Built to perform. Built to intimidate. Built to win.

Built to be impossible to ignore, Bootlegger is Todd Stewart’s vision brought to life—a machine designed to stand out from the crowd and rewrite expectations. Starting as a 1961 White Super Mustang, Bootlegger was completely transformed in-house in just three months by Todd, Our ATV Shop Foreman Ewell, four of our mechanics, and our Social Media Manager, documenting the entire journey along the way.

Riding on a 2018 Brinks armored truck chassis, Bootlegger retains the original Brinks steering and front suspension, while the rear is a custom hybrid setup made from four to five different truck rear ends. Stopping power comes from a one-of-a-kind system combining Brinks medium-duty brakes, a heavy-duty air brake system, and custom-fabricated hydraulic disc brakes, all assisted by electric.

At its core is a brutally capable 14L Detroit 60 Series, built and sponsored by ATL Diesel Parts. Featuring an ATL head, 1000 HP 12.7L camshaft, an ATL-donated turbo, and a compound setup with a 78mm feeding a 106mm, this engine delivers serious race-ready power. The drivetrain is a custom fabricated transmission and rear end setup, sponsored by Weller Truck Parts, running an 18-speed with a locking rear differential.

The suspension blends old-school ingenuity with modern performance—welded spring to air ride up front and a Neway rear suspension from a cement truck. Massive 24.5-inch tires were required to clear the custom braking system. Nearly everything is powder coated, with only black and chrome left untouched.

Bootlegger keeps its roots intact. The original 1961 dash was reinstalled after powder coating, along with the original shifter and gauge cluster. The original fuel tank was repurposed into a massive 160-pound ice box, feeding a water-over-air charge cooler to keep intake temps down. Supporting systems include an NHRA-certified fuel cell, FASS 540 fuel pump system, wireless Bluetooth race display, and a custom NHRA-certified roll cage.

Finishing touches include Infinite Offroad-sponsored under glow, full LED lighting, a Rough Country dual-motor onboard air system, custom-made steering shaft, three Icon lithium batteries with onboard charging, and towering 7-inch custom exhaust stacks with a one-of-a-kind exhaust body. To make it all fit, the hood was stretched from 34 inches to an aggressive 70 inches, giving Bootlegger its unmistakable silhouette.

Driven by Todd Stewart, Owner of Redneck Diesel Performance LLC, Bootlegger is more than a build—it’s proof of what happens when vision, skill, and teamwork collide.
