Not the answer to your question but pressed steel covers do exist, they were on mercury marquis with the 8.8. Don't know what year though.
I grabbed an 8.8 from a 92 2wd explorer (to put in my ranger) and it had a stamped steel cover.

I recently had some 1/4" steel pieces cut at a shop that has done work for me before including cutting the pieces for the heavy duty diff covers I've sold here before. I haven't been able to find the drawings for them and checked with the shop. They had the drawings and can still cut the pieces for me. I want to get some cut but I don't have the extra cash to invest because I got hit with a $1,300 insurance bill.
I need to get some cash to get one made and get the process started again. I had intended to offer them again this fall until the insurance thing came up.
The good thing is my rates should come down a lot when my insurance is due 6-months from now.
Hey, I wonder if I can save a ton of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO?
