Toy Talk with Logan Skeele
Boom! What’s going on everyone
I’m Logan the 64th Gear Jammer Skeele Opening the warehouse doors on another episode of Toy Talk.
Ron Kelsey started driving trucks in 1977. He purchased his first and only truck in August of 1984. The Peterbilt Model 359 became the only truck he would ever need and is still driving it today. In 1990, Ron had it painted in an orange and yellow paint scheme and it became the "Sunrise Express.”
By the mid-90s Ron Kelsey’s Sunrise Express received a major upgrade. Ron took out the BC400 Cummins Engine and replaced it with an 800 horsepower 3406E Caterpillar diesel.
14 years later and Ron had a shiny new coat of paint applied and the ghost flames joined the “Sunrise Express” paint scheme. As the years went by, Ron kept finding upgrades for the truck. In December of 2017, Ron wanted a longer wheelbase, so he had the frame stretched out to 301 inch. In 2018 Ron boosted the transmission from a 6-speed with 4-speed auxiliary to a 10-speed with a 4-speed auxiliary.
As it rolls down the highway today it has a 10 x 4 transmission, 336 Eaton rearends, and the CAT 3406E from 1994 for a drivetrain.
Ron has been customizing his ride for the past 35 years and it’s never gotten old.
Now to talk about the 1:64th scale truck replica. It is DCP by First Gear’s Big Rigs Series 1 “Ron Kelsey’s Sunrise Express”
