I'll take your insults as compliments and blame it on your lack of intelligence.

what you're looking into should be a trailing arm irs type rear with chain drive to each wheel like i'm presently installing. pretty popular with those who own them and viewed favorably compared to some of the other types of rear suspension. the actual structure of the trailing arm itself may vary over the years from a heavy square box arm to one made of 4 interlinked tubes to form the arms. the latter usually needs a little extra boxing in. biggest issue with them is when the gearbox shaft coupler on the right side of the jackshaft strips or breaks. you can get parts through roketa.com

should be some variation of this one
