Anyone tried making house chairs out of 80 seats?

I am installing aftermarket seats into my 80, but the OEM ones are absolutely mint and I am certainly keeping them for <whatever>. In the meantime, since just storing them seems illogical, I want to make lounge chairs for the garage out of them because why not. Has anyone done that? Just looking for ideas on what to mount them on - I thought of just strapping some wheels on, but they'll be way too low. So what - a couple of 2x4s bolted together and screwed on, or is there some "smarter"/more elegant solution?

I have a really nice bench seat out of a 77 F350 I use in my shop and as my camping chair.

I had a uline table with a broken wood top. I cut the legs down and made mounts to fit the ford bench seat. The legs don't weigh much- important if you want to move it.
