Re: father passed without a will

Your brother is wrong. Age has nothing to do with it. There being no Will, the estate may have to be administered. (Probate refers to the situation where is a Will.) Consult with a local attorney.

You don't own the truck and he doesn't own anything either. Until one of you gets a lawyer and probates the estate, nothing is resolved.
