Very cool! Yes, it does look like the same body style that was on your Great-Great-Great Grandfather's truck. ;-) ![[Linked Image from thorpeandsons.files.wordpress.com]](https://thorpeandsons.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/john_alma_thorpe_21.jpg) Here's more about the Mifflin Body Company: http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/m/mifflinburg/mifflinburg2.htmAnother big step forward for the project!!

The radiator shell is a 1924 one,the '22 shell is much shorter in height.

It also has 1924-26 drum style head lights to match the radiator shell.

Hi Gents,
The dip in the front axle under the radiator shell makes the truck a 1923 model.

Guys the one above is a 1922 we where only comparing the style of manufacture of the cab because it looks like the Mifflin Body Company had made my grandfather's truck.

This site is for help in identifying correctly Chevrolets and related information and I get that you maybe interested in the body manufacture of the cab, but the aim is to present accurate information when identifying the years of the vehicles to avoid misleading information. The truck is clearly a 1923 Chevrolet Year Model despite the incorrect identification on the website.

The truck body is clearly not built on a 1922 Chevrolet.
