aftermarket seat covers for '85 front and REAR seats?

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has found seat covers that fit the 4runner decent enough. I haven't found a single place that actually has rear seat covers for the 85 that matches the rear seat i have in it. They all show covers for a seat with head rests while mine doesn't have them. (i'm assuming that means the style is completely different)

I'd like to find some semi-custom seat covers that fit tight on these seats as my rear seat is completely torn.

Everybody likes Wet Okoles but I haven't seen them for a big slab '85 backseat. They would cost at least $500 anyway. You should look for a local upholsterer because I've seen people pay about $300 per row for upholstery. I have Wet Okole front seats and they are hot and sweaty wet suit material.

Yeah $500 is way above what i'm looking to spend on covers. For that kinda cash i would rather just have them redone. I was hoping someone bought some cheapy $50 covers and had a pleasant surprise that they fit well. (especially the rear seat) I'm wondering if perhaps It's close enough to the jeep rear seat that a jeep rear seat cover might fit?

Jeep rear seats go in at the sides like \____/ because of the rear wheels. I would think a cover designed for a truck with a front bench seat would work better. I've seen cheap seat covers at Big Lots for about $20 but I haven't been in there in a while. Get a set for buckets and a bench cover. You could probably return them if they don't fit.

So after looking around online at pictures of 1st gen 4runners, i see almost all of them have a split rear seat? That explains that. Mine has a one piece sculpted rear seat, so a solid bench not a 50/50. Those 50/50 benches look great. wish i had a place around here where i could find a bench off one of those trucks.
