Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: validity of will

You don't say if your father lived in NJ or FL which may make a difference.

If your father gave the '35 truck to his wife (your stepmother) before he died so that title was in her name, then the Will leaving you and your siblings the truck would not transfer ownership (because your father no longer owned it when he died).

A will contest may be possible, but I would need to know a lot more about the facts in order to prove that there was undue influence, or lack of capacity to make a will. You acknowledge that your father understood the nature, extent and the natural objects of his bounty and that he had moments of lucidity. If that's true, you probably have a very weak case. Also, leaving his estate to his wife is not the type of 'un-natural disposition' that would be easy to challenge.

Re: validity of will

This will take some talking and discussions, to figure out whether you have a way to challenge your father's Last Will and Testament.
