Yes, as long as they are both 4x4 or 4x2.
But you need to swap the pedal assembly, clutch master cylinder and possibly the crossmenber too.

As long as you have the whole parts truck, you should have everything you need to make it work.

I've done auto to manual swaps on a couple cars, both of those worked out great. Never done it on a truck though.

The pedal assembly will not work. The 95 truck will need a pedal assembly out of a 1992-97 truck.

The flywheel should fit fine, and I think the driveshaft in the auto will be fine too. The tranny's are the same length.
Use the starter from the manual transmission truck when you do the swap.

I went through five starters before I realized this...

You'll just need a computer off a 460 with a manual tranny. There are other types that vary by californina emissions or the rest of the Country, and also some vary by Elevation. Make sure when you get the actual transmission you get one with the Big block bellhousing. the small block wont fit. I think diesels are differeent as well.
