Maybe it's just me but I don't really see much of a problem with any of this....
Aside from him telling you to eff off over the tow truck, if that is the case then yes I can see why that would make you mad.. Otherwise it all seems really silly..
If you walked out to the tow truck and escalated things by saying MOVE YOUR TRUCK RIGHT NOW, then it's on you for escalating it and you shouldn't be surprised when he's a an ass in response. But yes I can see why that would make you mad.
However, parking a broken down vehicle in his driveway, and a registered vehicle on the street shouldn't a problem.
Just because you don't like looking at a broken truck doesn't mean the neighbor should bend to your every whim.
What if he puts up lame hideous lawn ornaments that you hate looking at does that mean you should be able to demand he take them down.
Lighten up, if the van's registration runs out, fine, file a complaint. Otherwise I'm not sure what the problem is.
This is all assuming that the truck isn't a safety hazard of some kind.. If it is a safety hazard then continue on.
My question at the end, is now that the two truck is gone, why do you care about a broken truck in the driveway? Just because you don't like looking at it? Or is there some other reason?
Personally if I were to do anything like the neighbor did, I would definitely speak with my neighbor first, so I see it being kind of rude and I can see where there the OP would be annoyed at that......

There is no hood on the truck. The truck is on a jack because it doesn't seem like it can stand on its own.
You're right, if it's on his property it should be fine. It's an eye sore and it's broken down. It's taking up space on his driveway which could be utilized for the other cars he has that he parks on the road.
What if I was trying to sell my house. When people look at a house they look at the neighbours and the area. Would you like to buy a house with a broken down truck next to it? With a whole slew of cars parked everywhere where their would be no room to park your own car or room for your guests to park their car?
Going by what other people have said it would be okay for the neighbour to park on my driveway as long as it's a temporary thing because that's what it's there for.
And if you read all my previous posts I tried talking to him before about the fence and he did was call me names. How would talking to him now fix anything?
Maybe I'm a bad neighbour, maybe I'm not. I didn't like the way he went about the fence business so that's why I didn't pay. If he asked me and we worked on it together it would have been better. There are bylaws out there regarding these things and if I have to abide by them then others should too.
