Default Seat swap questions

My 89 MN SSP driver's seat has a backwards lean (won't stay forward like the passenger seat). It will lay flat, but won't stay forward in more vertical positions. My question is, can a passenger seat be converted to a drivers seat by moving the release lever and track adjuster to the other side? I would like to take the regatta blue upholstery off the 89 driver's seat and put it on a 86 passenger side gray SSP seat that I have. Also could I just swap the seat backs (keep the bottom cushion and lower seat frame, then switch the upholstery), as isn't that the part of the seat frame that is usual bent and causes the lean? Also my blue seat back has a rip in it (about 1" wide in the middle), so I would be interested in replacing that upholstery (If I used a passenger side piece, then I would not have to relocate the release lever — neither of the release levers work on the SSP anyway). Thanks for any help,
Bob
