Use a piece of wood the size you would like the picture frame and cut out the size you would prefer for the picture in the middle. Typically you can find a plain picture frame at your local craft school just for this use. Glue each piece of glass on the frame leaving gaps in-between for the grout. Let glue fully dry. Then pour grout all over and wipe excess off. Once finished filling the grouts use a rag and wipe clean the glass. Let grout dry some then go back and use a damp wipe to fully clean each piece of glass, before the grout dries completely.

This is really one of those jobs best left to the pros. Seriously it costs less than $200 for parts and labor, and it's done in an hour or two. If you try yourself you will take much longer, and will most likely leak. If you are still set on doing it yourself you will need a special wire caulking saw (purchased at an automotive store), and lots of caulking. Remove the trim around the windshield not easy, but do-able. Take the wire and shove one end through the caulking on the existing windshied so that half the wire now is inside the truck, and half is outside. With you on the inside and a friend on the outside saw the wire back and forth until you have traced the entire windshield (carefull if you are trying to save the glass it is easy to break it at this stage). Remove the old glass, and clean all the the old caulking off. Put in new caulking, and install the new glass. It will probably leak. Good luck.
