bonehead has a guy in brandon that has (or at least used to have) both plastic and metal drums (pop-top or bung hole). food grade contents, originally.

The Rankin County Coop had metal drums with a top last year. I'm sure they still do

Try Luvell Dairy. They'll let you have some for next to nothing. Its also interesting to see what chemicals go into milk that are delivered in 55 gallon drums.

They have a couple of locations in the state I believe.
