Schwinn Traveler fork question

I have a 80-81 Schwinn Traveler, which has a stem size of .833 of an inch (Or something like that). Anyways I have a set of handlebars, threadless stem, and 1" stem adapter that I bought finding some pretty decent deals. Anyways I bought the 1" threadless stem adapter because I assumed because it was an older schwinn (non french or italian or anything weird) that the stem size would be 1". So I was suprised when the stem adapter wouldn't fit, so I did some research to find that I had a smaller stem so I couldn't use it. Now, my question is, Can I replace the fork designed for a .833" stem with a fork designed for a 1" stem? I think the only problem would be the headset, which I think if I found a 1" locknut, that might solve that problem. Anyways, I would really like to use the new bars and stem and everything so if I found a 1" threaded fork and was able to switch them out I would be good to go.

Thanks for any help.
