Perhaps I left out support for bending the fork legs to the original location! I did that too. Bought a Trek 760 that was a project which included a Giant unicrown fork ILO the stock. Checked out the TT and DT which were straight and started hunting for a stock fork.
Several months later I just happened to do a search on the 'bay and found one. Turned out it was local. Met the seller and found out it was bent. This is the unique fork that has the "Sword" lugs on the crown besides having a 38 offset (most forks are 40+). He gave me a 50% discount with option to refund. Took it home and measured the steerer, it was straight.
I didn't have the tools but used a trashed front hub to lock the DO and placed the steerer in a vice. Used a 10Ft long 2x4 to bend it back. A friend who builds his own frames loaned me his DYI fork gauge that I used to find tune the bend.
Turns out the steerer was the right length too as it was on a bike the same size as mine! What luck!
