I now have my MKIV kit in the garage and I need to take the body off, so I am looking for unique ideas for a body buck, combination work table, storage unit, etc. I cant hang it from the ceiling, they are too low. Any good ideas?

For that situation most of us end up with an elevated body buck like this one. I have a pretty normal 2-car suburban garage. The buck is as high as I could make it for the garage door to still open over the top. Doesn't allow for much room to work underneath, so I usually ended up pushing it out into the drive when working on the chassis. There are shelves underneath the body where parts can be stored or staged. But I wouldn't call it a work table. Not sure how many options there are for one of these to be multi purpose, to be honest.

i was possibly considering making the body low, then building a frame above to mount a table like surface. Pushing into the alley way is not an option, i only have a few feet on a sloped entrance.
