I don't know about the logo, but the original cover was a GM
accessory. I still have one in
the original box down in the basement.

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

It depends what cover you are talking about. There was an original fabric (vinyl?) cover which was original equipment but there have been aftermarket covers
such as the fiberglas ones made by Frank Jenkins.

I'm referring to the fiberglass one with the rounded GMC logo that I've never seen anywhere else.

You could call or email Frank Jenkins and ask him how he came up with the logo.
