Yes, the truck has glass. Although there is a crack and I need to replace it. Its way down the list.

The top is not sectioned. Its one piece and the pillars are leaned to mate up. My father chopped it in the 80's. As I recall, the glass was cut down on all 4 sides. A fiberglass mold was made for fitment and then used to cut the glass. He could not use old glass as it was too brittle when trimming. I think a GM gasket was used for the windshield. My father is no longer with us to ask details, but my uncle and I try our best to remember.
