I know my 29 has a Dave Wilton 4 speed OD but I cannot find any info on this man or his transmissions. Are they still around or do you know of a distributor?

Would appreciate any info.

He used the F150 transmission.

Thanks. Is he still around, have a website or anything like that?

Search other threads. Dave Delmue in San Jose , Ca. used to make a similar setup with the F150 4sp top loader. You may need to search for his current contact info. See attached for a typ. F150 from the period many use.

When I hear Dave Wilton I seem to think MT Car Products, mtcarproducts.com, (530) 872-0122. I am not sure why but you might call them and inquire. I believe Dave retired a couple of years ago.

I bought a lot of parts from Dave Wilton in the 90s . I don't know if Dave is still in business or have contact info . Dave was one of the best ever people to deal with .

Dave sold his MT product line to the present owners, not sure if he is still with us or not?

It was probably Dave Delmue. He made the 4speed overdrive kit for my Tudor. He still sells them. Nice guy to deal with. [email protected]

Dave Wilton started the F150 conversion in the early 1990s. Dave Delmue helped him on the project, then took over the 4 speed kit in 1996. Dave Delmue has just finished building his #184th "Ultimate Overdrive Transmission" (AKA F150 Overdrive kit).

Dave Wilton is still around, but really slowed down. While I never met him, I've been told that he is a really great guy.
