Will bucket seats for a  1988 silverado fit a 1985 silverado?
Thanks,
Jimo

Not without the base being modified.

Thanks for the reply. I have found a nice set of seats for a 1988 silverado. What modifications re needed and is it hard to do?
Thanks,
Jimo

Are we talking blazers, suburbans, pick ups?

The seats I am considering are from an 88 Silverado pickup and I want to put them in an 85 Silverado pickup.

Thanks,

88 RV series or T400 CK series?

It is a K10 silverado.

The T400 cabs are narrower than the 73-86 CK & 87-91 RV series and the T400 chassis cabs don't have the bubble in the floor to clear the fuel tank so the base is taller.  You'll have to fab mounts for buckets out of an 88 K series.
