Free truck, but no title

Acquired a dodge ram 3500 5.9 diesel, but it has no title. It was shipped out here to hawaii a 6 years ago. obtaining a title is gonna be a little difficult because it was sold in washington, shipped over, and then the title for it was lost and never registered here in hawaii from the guy that bought and shipped it over from what it sounds like. Thats how i ended up getting it for free, as it was given to a friend on a farm from the person who shipped it but lost the title. He moved back to washington, no one wanted to deal with it. I could Try track down the last registered owner etc etc, but are there any other possible ways here that might be easier?? The only documents i have is a shipping/delivery receipt from 2020 through matson, and a copy of a motor vehicle use tax certification(i dont even know what this for) which were in the glove box.
