Try this site they may be able to help you or direct you to where you can get the brake parts you need.

I looked in my parts book and it goes up to 1 ton only, and according to it some of the cylinders are same as 1/2 ton up to 1 ton.
It could be the same setup, maybe the 1 1/2 ton you have could be rated by the supension itself, as in heavier springs, larger tire size etc.
I'm sure if you took you wheel cylinders to a Napa store they should be able to match it, as well as the master cyl.
Worth a try, it ain't workin now so you have everything to gain.

Man, I gotta put the glasses on before reading post
I'd only notice the "1/2", not the "1 1/2-ton".
Only Joblot and Napa from my reply would be worth looking into.
I have har good things about chuckstrucks too on the 48-60 forum.
