I don't think you even need to re-title it. I only know the laws in Mn and don't know a lot about them. In MN you can drive any single unit motor veh. under 26,000 lbs with a regular class D license. Now, there is a requirement for air brake certification on your d.l. if your driving something with air brakes. You can't use it for "commercial" puroposes if you only have a D license. You don't need any RV items. You would need RV items installed if you wanted to license it as a RV. Sounds like you just want to license it and drive it. You would have to license it as a truck since it's over a 3/4 ton rated chassis. In MN you need truck plates on any truck 1 ton or greater. A truck plate is just taxed higher than a passenger car plate. They tax you based on the weight of the truck. Semi trucks doing interstate commerce need "apportioned" plates which are taxed even higher. You don't need those. Some towns have restrictions on parking of vehicles not "designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of persons." That's how the ord. is worded in St. Paul. If you use the truck mostly for transportation of persons you should be able to park it on the street. If you were to use it as a work truck, like a dump truck or something, then you might get hassled parking it on the street. Also, if you license it as a truck you can't drive it on parkways which have max weight limits under what you're licensed at. I'd just take my title to the state when you transfer it and say you want a regular weight truck plate for whatever the truck weighs. Don't put any commercial advertising on the outside either, that'll mean it's a commercial veh. and you'll need a commercial driver's license.
