Could you clarify, please?

Your dad's truck was pawned?

When you contacted the pawnbroker, what did they inform you that they would accept a proof you are now the rightful owner?

Pawnshop arrangements are loan contracts. When your father died, his obligation under the contract passed to his estate. His estate could pay the loan and reclaim the truck assuming the contract allows for it. The executor of the estate would deal with that. If no estate will be opened because he had few assets, then that may complicate trying to get it back as the pawn shop won't know who the rightful heir of the truck would be.
