You are correct, the fork is from a larger frame. My frame (95 Prestige Stumpjumper) has a 95 mm head tube and the fork has 150mm of steer tube with 30 mm of threads. I do not believe that I could get 1" of unthreaded tube one the space of a headset is added in. I guess my only solution is getting the threads extended and cutting some length off. BTW I appreciate the information you often bring to this forum!
