I need to replace my 30 gal. gas hot water tank. When I go for the new
one, is it ok to lay it on it's side in the back of the truck, or should
it be transported upright?

Just curious and thanks.

You can lay it on its side for transport. There is nothing inside the
tank that will be damaged by laying it down, like some refrigerators,
for example.

If it is in a carton, make sure the gas regulator and other fittings
are facing up. If not in a carton, you should protect the tank with
blankets or other padding, with the gas & pressure fittings facing up,
and make sure it can't roll.
