Heavy Duty Nose fork difference ?

Were all Cessna HD nose forks bolt on with the block style to oleo? Or were there some that looked like the standard fork but can accept a 6x6 or so ? I’ve been reading through IPC’s and can’t find any standard looking but HD length. A guy at my field has a 172 on 8.50’s and a 6x6 fitting in what appears to be a standard fork. Thanks for any clarification.

I have seen a couple that look like original cast one. They will take a 6.00x6 tire but I don't think a 7.00 will fit. Certain brands of 7.00 will fit a non cast HD fork.
