Does anyone know the history/origin of the GMC logo on the spare tire cover? The cover is an aftermarket part, right?

Christo,

I believe that Frank Jenkins created that when he made the mold. It is not identical to any other "GMC" that I have seen.

Frank made a few of them with the GMC in red plastic so that it can be used
as a brake light.
