I saw an 92-93 f150 with a utility bed that was used for a lawn mowing service. It looked pretty decent, he even sloped the rear down before the ramp so the mowers wouldn't high center when loading. It looked just like the trailers that everyone uses.
just an idea

Main thing that makes them look bad is the extra width, just build it cab width and it won't look so bad. Build some side boxes and it will look even better.
