I would avoid the use if salt or pressure treated wood. if all you need is a work truck and don't care about looks then it should be fine, but with use and time it gets ugly, I think more so than white oak with a good finish, or some of the more expensive woods like Aptung.

On my 48 2 ton I will use quarter sawn white oak with a yet-to-be decided finish.
