the center joint is probably for bronco's or something, they have shorter driveshafts so there is a weird double cardian (double ujoint on one end)
or maybe the center one is if you have a long bed, there's a carrier bearing in the middle and maybe a ujoint after it. you only have four though

The center joint is for the long wheel bases, extended cab longbed or crew cab models.
