Radio Clock?

Can someone tell me if a radio in a 1987 f150 has a clock in the radio display or not. I read the post about replacing the bulb in the display and found it very helpfull.
Thanks ZZ

Yes it should have a clock, but it will only show up if you have the lights on or the key in the on or accessory position.

You push the power button in to switch between clock and radio frequency on my 90 radio.

Follow up about truck radio face light.

I took my radio out and took face plate off.
I went out and got 2 bulbs for it at Oriellies
I tryed to put the new bulbs in with a pair of needle nose pliars and ended up breaking both bulbs.
Sooo I go back get 2 more bulbs and this time I just set bulb in with needle nose pliars then took a golf tee and pushed in the new bulb.
The concave part of the golf tee allow me to put more pressure on the bulb, the buld to slip right in.
The clock and radio display works fine now.
Thanks for all the help.
ZZ

Mine was not that hard ... guess the NAPA bulb is tougher ... I just set it in there and pushed it in with my finger. Glad you got it working.
