master cyl for 3/4 to1/2 ton swap

I've converted my 71 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton ( 71 rearend, 85 frontend ) and have been using the original master cyl from the 3/4 ton.Brakes seemed OK but not great. the MS now seems to be defunked to I'm looking to replace it. Should I get one for a 71 1/2 ton, an 85 1/2 ton, or another one for a 71 3/4 ton.
any words of wisdom?

stick with the 71 3/4 ton masterr cylinder.
If you get the 1/2 ton one, you'll have to redo some of your brake lines, and the 85 unit would need some custom work to make it fit.
