It's funny that you choose the 1995 style because that style of F-150 is enduring enough to have its own short hand amongst truck people, the OBS (Old Body Style). The OBS generations of the F-150 are considered to this day to be beautiful trucks with lasting aesthetics by many truck folks and you'll see a lot of well preserved or rebuilt OBS bodies out there. Certainly far more than the body style that succeeded it (1997).

Tastes are subjective, I agree, but I want to point out on, at least this small matter, how much yours diverge from a lot of people that purchase trucks. I think history will judge mostly whether this appealed to people in a venn diagram of truck owners and not truck owners who are looking for very aggressive and unorthodox large status vehicles and are underserved by the truck SUV market.
