It has a regulator and crank at the upper part of the window, which I removed. The windshield moved up and down. My question is, do I need to remove the top in order to remove the windshield and frame or is there a better way?

Remove the screws on both sides and then you should see the glass channel against the wood post. You may have to run a thin sharp blade between the channel and wood to loosen them. Then tip the top of the windshield toward you. It may take a little tugging to get it to move. Be very careful of the broken glass as it has razor sharp edges. It goes back together the opposite of removal. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
