Is it OK to use galvanized bolts with treated lumber? Or is stainless steel a must? Thanks.

    Treated lumber and aluminum don't mix

    Thanks. I was told that treated lumber will cause my galvanized trailer to rust. Is this true? My plan is to bolt treated 2X4's to the top of my galvanized trailer frame, then mount bunk sliks on top of that. BUT the 2X4's need to span 44"(lying flat) between the 2 trailer frames. If treated is not a good idea, what should I use? I thought about cedar, but didn't think it would be strong enough.
