You couldn't do the reverse, and the Sherman guide teeth are too wide to fit between the Pershing roadwheels. But, if what appeals to you is the different look of the guide teeth, then go for it! I can't remember if the number of track shoes is different between the two tanks (and I'm not at home right now to count them) so maybe someone else has that info.
The diffrent guide teeth is perfect for the project i have in mind, a fictional sherman variant
