It can get confusing when discussing heavyweight cars and the trucks they rode on. First....the term "Pullman".....a company which both built and operated cars, mostly Pullman sleeping cars, but also Parlor and lounge cars. So far as I know, all such cars are of the 6 axle variety. There are a few Pullman built 4 axle business cars, which might all be former ATSF cars.
If it is SP 4 axle heavyweight cars you seek, then you will probably be limited to the iconic arch roof commute cars....GCRR is probably the biggest owner or these cars. Finally, there are (were) a number of 4 axle baggage cars, and possibly some 4 axle long distance coaches.
Good luck in your search,
