Phil! Glad you found us.
The guys on here are very eager to help! What are you wanting to build, an offset, R/F, or something else? The more info the better. You have the hard parts, now you just need the plan.
Post some pics as you go, this is a very visual crowd.
Where you at in MO?
As I said welcome, and now the addiction begins! Enjoy!
BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.
Welcome Phil and congratulations! - they tell me the first step is admitting you have an addiction
Please post pics as you go - DC likes to color them in...
Looking forward to your build...

just curious - can you run across the side rails with square tube and just create a flat floor on a boat trailer and end up with the correct strength?

I hope you just roll it over and let most run out then finish with a shopvac - 'least that's the way I'm gonna do mine in a couple weeks...

Great finds Phil, those should work well for you. Now just get out the checkbook and let er eat! I see you already have your assistant doing some research on the ol puter.
Just turn the tank over when you are ready to dump the water. Most will come out and what is left you can get to once you make a cut.

weeeellll, I use my forklift to roll the tank....
But in all seriousness, you can just use a 4-1/2" cutting wheel to make the first cut. i make several. if you make them in the endbell you can just weld them shut and hit them with the flap disk to make them perty again.
NOW, DO NOT drain that tank in town! matter of fact, don't fill it in town either! you will have the fire dept and the police maybe even the gas company at your door in moments! A guy got real mad at me for not telling him that one time LOL. make sure and do it outta town
Bein from that part of mizzourah you are real close to smoker tom and a couple other guy's that can help ya if you need it. also, run some angle across those cross members and you'll be fine. prolly use 2x3" angle 1/4" thick would be plenty.

Yeah this is the part I am worried about, what to do with 500 gallons of stinkin water. Well maybe the inert gas is a better way to go and then just burn the tank out.
Phil the lesson here is that when you dump it - do it over at smokertoms - he's already pissed off the neighbors so no harm - no foul
Just trying to be helpful...

I know all about pissin off the neighbors, I moved in five years ago and every year I tear up something. It's bad when you build a shop in a pretty nice neighbor hood and stay up all hours making noise, or the concrete truck rips you're neighbors sprinkler system out of the groung.
