I used decking material when I did restoration. The reasons were, I liked the look, it was solid color through out material, not supposed to fade or warp (been 3 years and no fade or warp as yet) and it was different from norm.

Having said all that, decking is a composite material. One of the material used is plastic. I don't know how that would hold up with hauling all kinds of stuff in everyday use. I wouldn't recommend decking for normal truck use.
