I'd like to apply some common sense to this and support mrtoni's comment above me.
In order for the seat and back's material to match, each and every seat would have not only had to been assembled together, most likely by the same person, but the covers raw materials would have had to been sewn together on the spot as a matched and measured set.

I believe this is what it means to be "tailored".

That is an insane amount of work and effort for a cheap old workhorse truck build by GM for pennies.

Would it be asking too much for a $7k Cadillac? Maybe not; but for a pickup truck....too much.
These so-called "luxury" options that made these trucks more snazzy were nothing more than added plastic and chrome aesthetics; not custom hand built trucks.
