I think you hit the nail on the head with the following:
1: Wheel cylinders are 15 years old
2: Truck sits around for months in the winter and weeks in the summer without being used.
3: When it is used, it's not getting a real workout.
Vehicles don't like sitting around. Rust and corrosion forms, rubber dries out, etc. I'd either rebuild your existing wheel cylinders or install new ones.
