Taco 22 front fork styles

[Whiz]

As the title states, I'm curious which forks would be used on the late 60's Taco 22. I have seen the groovy aluminum lowers that have the fork springs wound into the castings and I have seen springs that are placed further up the fork that look a lot like a Manco T bird.
TrYing to piece some parts together slowly and build a 22 but they are pretty rare in Lil Indian country. If anyone has some history on the original Taco/Steens company or can direct me that way it would be appreciated. Thnx Ale.

Style was changed very early in 1969

as @Broke Joke stated, the change was 1969 when they went from the lower aluminum fork knuckles and transitioned to the mid springs.

So I went through the giant pile of minibike wheels and tires and found a late stYle Taco 5 inch wheel. Boy was that a surprise since I never seen one around here. So that's my Taco start!
