I'm sure Montana has transit plates, most states do. What you want to
do is not uncommon, just make sure you don't pay sales tax in Montana
if you don't have to. Some dealers will charge you the tax even if you
are not required to pay it (most states the dealer doesn't collect
sales tax, it is done at registration time.)
Transit plates that I've seen are usually 10 or 20 days. Also,
*IM****TANT* transit plates are issued by the state where you will
eventually register the vehicle, not the state where you buy it!
In NH, where I am, to get transit plates, I have to show a bill of
sale or other do***entation that I've bought the vehicle. They then
issue a transit registration and a paper plate. Took me about 20
minutes the last time, mostly a wait in line because someone was ahead
of me! <g>
