It appears you have a super cab. Is the donor truck a super cab? If not then NO.
What seat do your currently have?
What is in the donor?

I was talking about standard cabs, although I hadn't considered other options and should have. Anyway, I think you are good to go. Again, I haven't done it so I'm going on what I've been told, but told by more than one FTE'er.

i once put a seat from an early-90s into a late-60s truck, and the only modification needed was to drive out a couple studs to allow the tracks from the truck to bolt onto the donor seat - they changed floor mounting a time or two over the different generations. that said, i don't know if any changes were made in the years in question

All bench seats are interchangable from 80-96. I'm not sure about other years. If you find a crew cab, the front bench does not fold forward, but the rear one does. I have a rear bench from an 89 crew in my regular cab.

You know what is rare or hard to find?
A front seat from crew cab.
Yes I know any bench seat will bolt in but the backside is upholstered with vinyl on the seat back. It has a finished look when viewed from backside.
Additionally I have yet to find a cover that covers the entire seatback.
My rear seat is almost mint red vinyl with textured inserts. The front had some rips and sag in the usual spots but the backside looks good.
I am trying to figure out the best way to go here.
I want the two seats to match. Also I don't want to see the cardboard backer if I move the back to the front.
Ideally I would find complete red interior from newer crew cab and sell my current seats.
Did they make red crew cabs in the obs era?

I've seen red supercabs (small back seat but two doors) and that should work, too.
Quite honestly, what comes to mind is material (vinyl, felt, whatever looks good) purchased from a fabric store and added to the existing cover.
Removing the existing vinyl will be a lot of work, though, and you'll need a decent sewing machine to sew heavy material like that together. But it can be done, I used to watch my mom reupholster furniture and car seats.
