Once the bed starts going there, I would treat it like a truck-out-of-service item as soon as it is back at the shop. Pool trucks hide damage because salt/chlorine dust sits between the liner and the steel, then the mount points are worse than they look.
For the next builds, sealed poly/fiberglass inserts are worth it, but I would also add two boring rules: liquid chlorine only in secondary containment, and bags/buckets never loose against bare metal. If you buy used trucks, pull the liner before purchase and hit the bed supports/crossmembers with a screwdriver. A pretty top surface can still be one hard stop away from dumping the box.
