I walked into a 1765 barn that had been restored with 8x8 PT sills and repaired post bottoms. The flourescent green of the PT was so distracing I forgot to look up at the frame. It was disgusting, and sacreligious, in my opinion. If that's all you've got, that's one thing, but there are many alternatives, and they don't have fastener issues. I'm not a fan of 2-3 growth rings to the inch, but then I'm biased, I saw a lot of black locust.
