Here's some that I have. You can't tell but they're off white with light blue letters. The regular truck plates are used, but I can still register 'em. The farm truck plates are brand new, bought 'em from a guy in Dallas.

I'll use the farm plates some day, but they look cool hanging on the wall in my room for now.

I am pretty sure you have to match the plate with the vehicle t6o get it registered. Truck plates for trucks, Car plates for cars.

Found the plates on ebay. There are several people that sell them. Just do a search as I don't have the contact info any more. I think the seller was in Midland , Texas.

Yes, Texas trucks used truck plates regardless of personal or commercial use

I have seen several sets of unissued Texas Truck 68 plates on ebay in the last 6 months. They always sell for about a buck more than I bid... Around $35+shipping was the last set I remember.

The unissued Farm Truck plates seem to go for a little less. I bought a set for $20+ $4 shipping.

There is a nice set of 1972 Texas plates for sale now on ebay.
