Some fbodies which were originally sold in the southern states (florida, arizona, etc) shipped without the rear defrost. Not sure how much of the wiring is there for it or how hard it would be to install. I imagine it would involve replacing the rear glass at a minimum.

so i need to take the panel off, and see if there are wires sticking there, or what??

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm willing to bet all the wireing is in the loom already. What you should do is go to a salvage yard and get the heat/air control panel off a car that has the defrost, and maybe even the rear glass, and while you're there, check out the wireing and make sure everything is on your car that you'll need. Like the wire that connects the window to the loom. 
my car had the wiring for traction control but no switch, and no traction control lol...but the wiring i think is pretty much all the same, they wouldnt custom make each harness...
