Re: 1948 Champion Blue Ribbon 2K Lower Unit Seals

If you go back in this string to page 2 to the photo of my model 550, you will see that your front deck has been cut out to shorten the deck and you can see the factory glove box was originally in the center of the dashboard. The vertical surface yours is now mounted on is not stock. That glovebox was standard on the 550, but optional on most other Crestliners in 1957.

The H at the end of your serial number means it was made in Virginia. Those without the H , like mine, were made in Minnesota.

Here’s the whole catalog for 1957:
