There is a 1968 Toronado being parted out in my area . The Toro has bucket seats. It has been mentioned in other threads that the 60/40 split bench has the same bolt pattern as bucket seats .
My car is a 1982 Delta 88 4 door , i have a 60/40 split bench front seat .
Question would the 1968 Toro bucket seats have the same bolt pattern as my front seat ?

My opinion no way it just bolts up. But... Grab a tape measure. See how that works out.

Can't say no. My cars are 60's era.

Just want to point out that that Olds in the 60's worked with SAE (English) scale. By '82, I believe GM was working in metric.

Not taking a position on SAE vs. metric. Just saying they're different and generally don't interchange.

I'm a believer in having your car your way. If you want bolt a '68 SAE seat into a metric '82 car, your move is to get a tap & die and oversize the bolts and bolt holes to a common size that works for both seat bottoms and the floor boards. If it were me, I'd put a reinforcement plate of about 2x2" underneath each hogged out bolt hole to be sure the in an accident the seats would not be thrown free of the car. So - extra long bolts, wide washers to spread the load, wider reinforcement plates below those, and lock washers to hold it all together.

Or just live with the well known and understood '82 metric seats.

Toro people pay a lot for those seats and console.

Can't say what people do to make them fit, but I've seen a ton of 90's and newer seats put into 60's and 70's cars.

So if you have time time and the money it sure seems possible.

They are not going to bolt in. Seats and tracks are different.

@Oldsguy installed bucket seats from a mid 90s GM coupe into his 69 Delta 88 (probably over 25 years ago). I don't recall exactly what car they came out of.

You can install any seats in any car. It won't be a "bolt in".

G body buckets bolt right in.
