It depends on which V8 axle. The hub bearings changed in 1936. The early 1932 axle is a lot like the Model A but they started using 12" drum hubs so they have different brakes. The axle tapers might be the same but backspacing off the axle tube flanges might be different due to the different rear brakes.

Rear hubs changed a lot on later V8 axles with 5 X 5.5" bolt patterns and the wide 5 patterns used till the hydraulic brake change in 1939.
