Those service bodies are nowhere near as resistant to rust as a conventional body. They're usually rotten inside, hinges seized.
Since the OP is in Florida, I don't think he'll see the same rust issues on used trucks that you see in upstate NY where they salt the roads in the summer too....
By "solved" I think the OP is agreeing with the multiple suggestions to simply replace the service body with a flat bed and sell the service body.
Spent much time by the coast? Rust is like the Midwest light. Sure interior vehicles just get sun baked. Coastal vehicles down south are about the worst combo of sun/heat and salt damage all wrapped up in one neat package.
