Have found lots of grilles that will fit, but they either have no logo (generic blazer/jimmy grille) or have a bow tie already attached. I would like to find one that is specifically made for the GMC Jimmy and preferably has the GMC emblem attached.

Any help anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

There is a couple available on ebay, both need minor repair and restoration. But they are OEM.
And since you’re in Cali, Pomona Swap Meet March 5, There’s a lot of Square Body stuff there

Thanks! I will take a look. Last time I looked there were a few but seemed to need some major repair work - and I do not know how to do that kind of cosmetic repair.

Who/What kind of person could I take it to to get repaired?

Thanks again!

Yes, If you’re not familiar with that kind of repair it can be a big task.
It usually take 2 grilles to get 1 repaired/restored one.
Keep checking ebay and other sites, when they pop up they sell quick. And as you’ve discovered, the OEM grilles are getting tough to find. You’re fortunate to be in Cali, seems to be more available at scrap yards and swap meets.

As others have said, unfortunately your only option is to find a restorable original and a "parts" grille and restore one. There's not much for repop GMC grilles at this point. There's nobody that I know of that offers that service off hand, though I'm sure they're out there. Otherwise it will be up to you to do it. It's not super hard if you have patience, just some plastic welding, filling, sanding, painting, etc.
