Factory Radio for 84 bird?
Hey everyone,
When I first got my bird back in the early 90's, it didn't come with the factory radio. I'm trying to find one now as close as possible. I have aquired a AM/FM/Cassette from a GM truck. So here's the questions....
I understand the backlighting should be orange to match the dash, I caught a thread eariler on how to change that, so I'm not really worried, just wanted to confirm that it should be orange.
My other question is, does the LCD on the clock / tuner stay green, or do I need to look into making this orange as well. If its supposed to be oranged, does anyone have any tips on how to do so?
Thanks!

I believe all the clocks stay green. My '85 and '91 are that way and I suspect the '84 is the same.

I have an 84 and the clock is green/turquoise.
The only ones that had the red clock were the 83 DT500.

I can back Raptor up on that. I have an almost identical 84 to his (literally) in my possession and the clock is blue-green.
