What to do with ratty old seats?

I'm picking up a set of sr5 4runner seats, front and back, to replace the rotted out seats in my 87. I could just run the old ones to the dump but it seams to me there may be something cool I can do with them. I realize the front seats have less potential but I was thinking the frame of the back seats may be usable. Like stripping all the foam and stuff off and building a storage/deck unit out of the frame, something to swap out the rear seats for during hunting season. Any ideas?

Do you have a bench seat in there right now or buckets? Because when I swapped Acura buckets into my truck I took the old bench out and welded legs to the bottom of it so It is tall enough to be a couch. haha. So now I have a toyota couch as a place to sit in my dorm room. I can take a pic or two if you're interested.

I hate B&R, I live a block away from them. They told me I'm not allowed to enter the yard anymore.

There's another one closer to Eugene that may be good, I haven't been in the yard but the guys up front are cool. They held a timing chain cover for me on fathers day for 45 after they were supposed to close so I could haul ass down to get it.
