My dad would need a gold mine in order to pay the fees!

Not buying he owns it. Trying to sell it for him and get the most out of it. I appreciate the concern though!

That having been said, it wasn't roadworthy, and wasn't going to be ever again, at least not at a price that'd make it economical. I'd made a few calls, and none of the junkyards offered me more than I could get taking it directly to the scrap yard, but part of that is because that year and model weren't in much demand, parts wise. That KW has a lot more of its sisters and cousins still running the road though, and it's sure to be worth something in parts, if not whole.

How many miles are on it, Julie? I drive one occasionally that is within a tankful of fuel of turning over 700,000. (Not a typo. Seven hundred thousand miles.)

I'm not sure there are too many spiders in the cab for me to go in there and look!

I understand that. That's why I was saying to call as if you were a prospective buyer or however you want to do it to get your questions answered. If it doesn't follow the title, then sell it as a working dump truck. Around here you'd prolly get 8 to 10 grand for it.

Is the 7,000 something he owes regardless? Or just if he wants to register/use it? 7k is pretty steep...but knowing how California is...

Best of luck in whatever happens.
