There no reason to think that truck isn't a Silverado. Silverado didn't mean you got power windows and locks, it just meant you got the upgraded grille, door panels, carpet and headliner. It also made your dash bezel and door trim brushed aluminum.

Many Silverado's were highly optioned and that's why you commonly see them with cruise, tilt, air conditioning, power windows, locks and an auto trans, but these options were not normally required to be grouped.

See this for more info on trim levels:

For another data point, my 83 Crew Cab is a Silverado, it's listed on the glove box tag (which matches the VIN) and it has manual windows and locks.
