Ya depending on what part is really messed up I would put the new front section in and temporarily run the old rear section while you take the replacement to a driveline shop and have it cut down that 1/2 inch and rebalanced.

Could be that your u joints are to the point where its dangerous to use the old rear shaft, but if you get new u joints for the old rear shaft, theirs no reason you cant swap em into the new rear section after its cut down. But thats a lot of work and if i could squeeze out a couple more weeks on the old shaft's u joints while this stuff is happening i would.
