Nope. For many, many, many years, the only chaos dread was the metal chaos dread with its own gubbins and different body shape (not a boxnought).

It was a boxnought with a face...

Spoiler:

Unless you're referring to this ancient thing. Or even these two.

The Rogue Trader one was dead and buried by second ed, the two “Chaos Dreadnoughts” from Space Crusade more narratively fit with the “Chaos Androids” in the set so I always thought of them as Porto-Necrons heavies. The Chaos boxnought came out around the time of the second ed codex, I am in the middle of painting one now

A worthy epithet for a boss of a model. I always wanted one as a kid and was lucky enough to get one in a large haul of models from a guy selling locally. And honestly it’s probably the most Thousand Son-y of all the Chaos Dreadnoughts/Helbrutes.
