Nothing that I am aware of without modification.  I put a bench out of a 1991 Suburban into a 1985 C10 and was pleased with the results but being a Suburban front seat the seat back was fixed.

Qualitex makes nice aftermaket seats which i beleive will be a direct fit but they are not cheap

Just curious, for those of you that have done modifications is it preferred to modify the new seat base and use the original holes or drill new holes to accomodate the new seat?

"Generally" you will want to use existing holes as they have certain amount of reinforcement to them. However with that said if you drill new holes and secure the mounting points correctly then fab away...........
