Can you use galvanized nails in treated lumber? I thought I read somewhere
you couldn't. Any help on this would be appreciated.

The new stuff will corrode galvanized. Best to use stainless steel screws.
For some good information, especially if you are talking a deck, go to
www.mcfeelys.com They have it all.

Thanks for the info!

Yes, but they must be double hot dipped galvanized. You
cannot use electrogalvanized nails in treated.
