I don't understand how this addresses the question but ok.

Thank you all for your opinions. I really appreciate it. It makes me feel better that other people don't think I'm being selfish.

Far from selfish.

Sorry about your dad, how long does he have?

You are letting your father suck you into a stupid head game. Just make up your mind to refuse to discuss what happens to property that you don't yet own. Who knows what your father will actually do between now and when he dies. (Is he actually terminally ill.) Even if he had a will made, wills can be changed. Do yourself a big favor and refuse to even discuss the matter. Someday, if you actually inherit something from your father, that will be the time to decide what you want to do with it. Don't count any chickens that haven't hatched yet.

Down the line, and not before, I would suggest that, if you actually inherit anything from your father that you don't really want, then sell it and keep the money. Don't even consider selling it to your brother. He would just end up saying that you sold it for more than it is worth and that you gyped him.

It is very uncool to talk about what is going to happen to someone's stuff when they die, especially when this is a person that you don't even talk to. You probably have real good reason not to talk to your father. So just leave it at that and be glad that you are the independent one.

Keep the truck. It's not about a payback for all the abuse from each of your family members. It's about you getting something deserved, it's about something finally being somewhat in your favor, even though it really isn't even that fair to begin with seeing as your brother gets everything he wants and is getting the better deal out of the inheritance. If you haven't spoken to your brother about why you should get the truck I would definitely take the time to do so. If he refuses to see where you're coming from then don't sweat it. This whole situation seems to be in line with how things have gone for you your whole life, so why feel bad about taking something for yourself when it hurts no one? He doesn't try to better himself by getting a job or selling the motorcycle to buy a car, how would you giving the truck to him solve anything? I would take it, and if you don't then take comfort in knowing that this could be the last thing that he will ever be able to take away from you by being a whiny brat child.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
