You could probably recalibrate your 50 ohm SWR meter to
75 ohms. Or if all you are using it for is to make your
transmitter happy, leave it calibrated for 50 ohms. In
the latter case, you are not measuring SWR. When a 50
ohm SWR meter indicates 1:1, it is looking into 50 ohms
which is what the transmitter wants to see.

By the way, I bought a 2 meter/220/440 mhz swr/watt meter that reads
radiated/reflective power. Is this a good meter to set swr? Are these
hard to use?

I found some rg8/u and it is kind of expensive but the concensous seems
to be to use that if I want accuracy.
