Its not clear to me what you want to do. I presume this is a Ford based motorhome (which might have a title issued by the body maker Shasta, or by Ford, the chassis maker) ...and that you want to register it where you live?
When I bought my 1972 Winnebago I took the 'signed off' title from the prior owner, went to the local Division of Motor Vehicles (in my residence state of Virginia), got a title in my name, and license plates for it. I just needed an insurance verfication, my driver's license, and proof that I was in the state legally (not an illegal immigrant).
Then it took me four months of working every evening and each weekend to get it in shape for a 2200 mile vacation drive.
You might want to go to www.rv.net, look around to see what subforums interest you. Also, at www.groups.yahoo.com, there is at least one forum for 'classic shastas' : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Classicshastas. You have to join to post questions, but its free.

Evert jurisdiction is likely to be somewhat different. In VA you just show them the title. In TX to license a vehicle that is from out of state, you much get the vehicle to an inspection station, where they give you a form verifying that the VIN on the vehicle matches the title, and that the vehicle really exists.
P.S. In my view, the most serious problem with a motorhome that old is typically that the brakes need attention; they may be stuck on or stuck off, or dragging and or leaking.
