so I have a 75 jimmy that I have changed out the tailgate for the glass to a standard tailgate.
Problem is that I could only find a Chevy tailgate so wondering where I can find a badge to hide or change it to GMC?

The badges mount on opposite sides. I don't recall if the holes are in the right places to simply swap badges.

If the Blazer tailgate trim is like my '75 K25, the GMC logo is centered in the middle of the tailgate band. In later years they moved it to the left or right, depending on Chevy vs. GMC.

The '75 tailgate band for the pickups was also narrower than later years (which have a band that goes completely across), and the '75 band fit inside a slight recess in the tailgate.
