You might find that there are other options out there that may work better. I built a 60" blade for my Simplicity Pow'r Max years ago. I used a section of an old water pressure tank. After cutting it out, I opened up the arc with a little bit of hammer work. This way I got a blade that starts at the bottom with only a little curvature, but the curve gets tighter at the top. Really helps to make the snow roll off the blade better without coming over the top.

I have also used old water heater tanks for sources of curved steel. Thicker and stronger than the thin stuff used in 55 gallon drums, but smaller in diameter.
