Pretty sure the frame widths are different you would have to modify it.

Just weld some 1/4" plate to each side of the receiver and drill a new pin hole. It'll last forever.

I can do that I was hoping to just switch recievers so I could disable the 460 from being used as a tow rig lol

If you really want to use the hitch off the 90 then fab some mount tabs to bolt it to the newer truck

Then you will need a 1/2 longer hitch pin as well
