you should be able to find one, try a local fish store as opposed to a big retailer or craigslist, but also check the 60 dimensions, I know Petsmarts near me now only carry 60's but they are the same footprint as 50 and 55 gallon tanks just a few inches taller.
what are the dimensions?

I have a 55, at least I think it is, unless I was tricked. used it for maybe a year.
where are you in SD?
im not in SD, im on the east coast lol

the 60's I have seen at local petsmarts here are like 48"x13"x24" which compares to a 55 at 48x13x20 so the same footprint just a little taller than a 55
I wouldn't go to a store to buy a tank. People sell there tanks really cheap on Craigslist because they spent all this money buying a tank and didn't know what they were doing, there stuff died they got frustrated and want to sell really cheap.

I got a 75 gallon with an oak stand that has 2 cabinets and a slide out drawer for $150 on Craigslist, an oak stand alone would be $500-800 alone if I had went to a store.

Or someone upgraded.
I went 29 to 55 to 100 to 180. well the 100 and the 180 are both set up.
