Bent Steer tube/ Fork replacement

Greetings. I have a early 60's tank bike with a bent steer tube and finding a replacement fork has been difficult. The Bike is a SkyRay 26 in. Takes a 1 X 1.75 tire. Im unsure of my choices on the net. Any help is appreciated.

Take the fork off and bring it to a bike shop and they can then tell you if they can find a replacement. They need the fork to get all the measurements. They may also be able to straighten the fork you have. If your bike is a Higgins it most likely was a Murray built bike the numbers you posted indicate it is a middleweight bike. Roger
