What brand of tower? If you aren't sure, post up some images if you can. It might be your best bet is to simply have one made. But if it's a Rohn, Tri-Ex, Universal, etc. you might be better off simply getting a factory one.

Texas Towers was very helpful to me, not the cheapest though. The bases I have seen with the smaller towers say to just do the tower by itself, that is if you have a large antenna going on the top the tower itself may try to bend as you stand it up. Above all be careful!
A tilt-over tower base plate is one of those things that's better to over-do, rather than under do, if you make it yourself. The idea is sort of simple, but the doing of it really isn't. The concrete under that base plate is even more of a 'bigger is better' thingy. Just remember, the minimum standards from the tower makers are just that, the minimum, not the average, or the best.
