Default Question on Seat Frames

I have a chance to buy a pair of seat frames out of a 91, was wondering if they would fit my 86.........I know the cushions are different, but they look like they might have the same general outline....Has anyone done this????????? Any help would be appreciated..........
Have a Great Day!!!!!!!!

Catalogs list different parts, but I don't know for sure "how" different. I have a power driver side and a manual passenger from an 86 if you are interested. I will be gone all day tomorrow, but I will get back to you.

I don't know the exact answer, but I can tell you that I have 96 seats in my 93 and my 93 seats are in a 1981 and I have another buddy with a 76 with '93 seats.

I'm interested in the 91 seats because they have saddle backs instead of all black like the stock 86 that are in e the car now.........
