Strange... he has an eBay ad that has a similar plate:

That is strange. Did he say why? Can't recreate the artwork (too time consuming with the gradation of the background, perhaps) or maybe some state restriction?

Simply said "Sorry do not have this Idaho plate design"

I don't know what else it could be.

I just sent him another email with his eBay ad and the plate images again and see what he says.

Maybe you could find a photo (hi-res) of a blank plate from the vintage you want and supply that to him to work with. I'm guessing he would have to recreate the background artwork, which would be time consuming and thus cost prohibitive (especially if he only received a couple of orders for plates from that era).

I'm probably going to have to find a Centennial plate and get it reproduced unless ISP is able to find me a Trooper plate to get me by.
