This is the little that I can add - I'm just getting into C10's so IDK what the two piece shaft even looks like. However I'm assuming the front goes from the trans to a carrier, and the rear goes from the carrier to the axle pinion.
What do you mean by "when trying to install to rear it's too close"? The U-joint won't go into the pinion yoke? If that's the case, the shaft is likely too long or you need to adjust where the carrier is bolted down (it would need to go closer to the truck). If that's the case, you'd have to make sure the slip yoke on the tail shaft of the trans has enough axial clearance to accept more of the shaft.
Pictures are worth 1000 words I think on this
