The AA 4-speed and rear axle in my Model A came out of a mail car like that, which operated in Minnesota.
I don't know what body style it was, but the AA truck axle was cut down to fit in a passenger car/pickup. The friend who sold me the axle and trans kept the 24" rims with directional/agricultural tires. I don't need bigger tires to keep up with the Jeeps and Power Wagons. The heavier axle spared me from stripping axles keys as I always did before the upgrade.
