That's an interesting idea.  Old school Samsonite hard luggage is about 
as bulletproof as Pelican stuff and people are throwing it away since 
it's a PITA for modern air travel.  We have some 60s vintage stuff (or 
maybe late 50s) my wife got from her parents that we never use (but she 
won't get rid of) that you could probably use for jack stands.
