It's possible it could be powder post beetles too, they eat wood.

Actually the damage really does look like that of this beetle from the google images I found. I just "assumed" it was termites - I have never actually seen any evidence the than the holes. I guess an exterminator would properly identify them?
EDIT: I have read up on this a little more and I'm now pretty sure this is what I have. The fine talc-like powder they produce is definately something I have seen. It also seems you can get an insecticide to paint on to the unfinished wood (inside the cab) which will penetrate up to 4 inches.
