Sounds to me like he is talking about taking a set of '50 Texas tags to the courthouse and getting those YOM plates into use as historical/antique plates for his truck. The state will make sure that license number is not already in use and will issue a little tag to be placed on or near the YOM rear tag.

Legally, the vehicle with this type of plate is very limited to driving in parades, special events, etc. I've driven mine over 40K miles and the Gestapo hasn't stopped me yet.
