Here's a page out of the manual with a picture of the cylinder.

The master cylinder looks like the Ford CMP cylinder. If so, it is available as a modern production item from Mac's, Rock Auto and possibly others. If you can give the part number from the manuals this should be possible to confirm. I'm fairly sure that rebuild kits are available too, but check the condition of the bore before rebuilding. There's no point having great guts in a pitted bore.

Your master cylinder should be easy to fix, or get a replacement for. There is probably a casting number on it. Take it to a brake specialist, and they will help you. 1 1/4" bore is a common size. If the bore is ok, you will need a new piston of the correct length a spring, and a kit.
