(OP)
Does anyone know where I can get a used LO2 tanker, 4000 to 5000 gallon capacity? I would prefer one that is in need of refurbishment.

Make sure that when you start welding/cutting and other stuff to the tank that you purge your tank thoroughly with N2!!
Also take care that you don't destroy the vacuum insulation of the tank.
I don't now the regulations for these tanks in the States, but after making modifications, you probably need recertification (also depening if you want to use the tanker for LOX again)
Good luck

This tanker (liquid air)will end up being a testbed and may never go over the road, so I don't know yet what that will mean for certification. Any welding will be done by certified welders.

I also don't know what it means for the certification when you don't use it on the road. I can imagine, since your using it as a stationary storage tank, that you need a license/permit from local authorities, I don't know. It also depends on the total amount of liquid air etc.
Make sure you have a good circulation in the tank. If you store the liquid air and let it stay there is a change of separation. The nitrogen will go out, what's left will be enriched air (enriched with Oxygen)
Good luck
