Yes and no, there are a lot of changes (wider belt, different size tube, gussets instead of welding, AL not PVC belly pan, moving to two belts, different reduction, and different bumper mounts) that make this significantly different from last years chassis. It is still without bearing blocks and a few other staples of the standard 254/973/1323 WCD, but it is closer to that design than ours from last year.

How do the belts work for y'all, do they skip at all? (I have never used belts) Also if you're running belts on the inside of the tubing how do you get them on and off? Last thing, why gussets over welding? (so you can repair more easily?)
