Mine's a Silverado with Air, Cruise Control, Tilt, 350/Auto, AM/FM, Gauges, Ralleys, 2-Tone- wondered why no windows?
Power windows were pretty common on trucks( Silverado and Sierra Classics) in the 80's although many of people still didn't think they wanted them on a truck. They were still thinking of a truck being used to work from back then and didn't see the power accessories useful. the trucks came with power accessories with a higher price and most people didn't take the bait. The dealers sold alot more sierras and scottsdales without power windows and locks. Around 81' they began to become standard equipment.
