Wood bed question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have to replace my wood bed because I dident take the time to finish them correctly and now the wood is spliting. Stupid me.
Question is:
There is a guy on Ebay offering wood beds in different woods.
Since my truck is basically a street rod I think I would like to do something diferent. Has anyone ever used Hickory? How does it look?

When I did my oak bed (1 year ago) I use a outdoor style polyuritaine but now it is seperating from the wood. Where did I go wrong? I put 5 coats on it.
I used a stain and then a sanding sealer but it still lifted in areas after a year.
Bad Luck?
