Even though med BLUE all Vinyl was not avail in the '71 T-37 line, most casual observers don't know that. FWIW, in the late '80's my 71 T-37 Coupe had its base Black Parody Cloth & Vinyl seats replaced with a Chevelle pattern vinyl strato bucket seat interior. If the recovered front seats had still been the original split bench style, I'd prob have kept that fresh recovered interior at least for another project.

PUI '71-72 "Chevelle" bench seat covers in blue vinyl would be the most affordable route for your GT-37. close to a $1000 US for the front & rear covers as well as quality molded ACC front seat foam. Rear seat cushions will need the burlap & cotton, your upholstery pro should be able to furnish those. Add in labor to install & you're going to be WAY less (less than 1/2) than the total cost to have a top restoration of your bench seats with NOS materials.
