Is there someone reproducing the 81-87 GMC tailgate band?

Not for pickups with provisions for the tailgate handle.

Ive seen them in LMC but unfortunately they can't reproduce the logo. I wonder who makes that one on ebay, im sure thats why its so expensive. I want one for my 84 chevy, mines decent but a bit faded and a couple small dings. If you can live without the logo then check LMC.

Maybe the logo can be removed from an old one?

The description says it's OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and was purchased back in 1990 and stored away. In other words, it's what most folks consider an NOS (New Old Stock) GM part. And it seems like prices for NOS parts for these trucks (especially on ebay) have been going through the roof lately.

Yes, if you can find a new / reproduction tailgate band without an emblem, the GMC (or Chevrolet as the case may be) emblem can be removed from the old band and transferred over to the new one. I think most of those emblems have mounting studs that are secured with nuts on the back side of the tailgate band.
