the one that was on my 55 2-ton was wood with a steel band around the perimeter. The band had a bit of a lip on the top and bottom so it was more like a piece of channel (but not real beefy). Sorry, I don't have any real good pics of it. I am sure someone else will come along that has some good ones of one similar to what should be on yours. If nobody else has any for you, PM me your email and I can send you a better resolution of the ones below.
