Default Another Ford story

Hi, I don't own a T but read this forum regularly. I want to check on a rather dubious Henry Ford story I just heard today. Seems that Henry went to a junk yard one day in the 1920's and asked which used Ford parts were in the most demand. The owner said everything except kingpins. 'Haven't sold a one yet." So Henry went back to the factory and cheapened up the kingpins to save on costs. Anybody heard this one, or have documentation? Thanks!
