It's not an L but I have a 35G one it's 60"Lx16"Hx8"W. I am just about done building my deck and just made the legs around it. Yes I agree it is a nice setup. Not sure how well an L will work. You don't want to be lifting the legs over the tank. My tank is mounted right at the front of the box, and my legs start 12" back, so the tank does not interfere at all. However I only have a 6'4" box, if you have a 8' box you'd have more room to play with.

PM me know the size you want, and I will make one out of aluminum for you.
I make water tanks, if you want to put fuel in them (like most do) it is up to you.
A dual fuel tank is always cool, run it into your vent line to top up your truck tank as you drive, the other one is for sleds with a pump or gravity feed

thanks guys, i already have the tank in my truck (its a megacab), lifting it in or out is no big deal we have a yardfull of equipment! i was gonna build it around the tank and have legs in the corners at the front with some kind of cross bracing behind the tank tying the front together. pics if you have please!!

If you built the deck with 2 front to back skids rather than 4 independent legs, you should be able to build it to slide over the bottom of the "L". Might require some creative plumbing to be able to fill the tank with the deck on and sleds on the deck as I am sure the filler will line up right with some part of the sled that makes it hard to access , but should be doable.
