I got one off of Ebay for about $50, no quality issues / worked fine. The other I found in a junkyard for $5, but it was clean, looked new and I made sure the pedal didn't fade before I yanked it.

Besides the FJ80 upgrade, a 3rd gen Hilux (1989-95) is a great choice as well if you want to keep everything Hilux (this is what I've got in my 1981).
Just remember that once you start mix-and-matching master cylinders, your brake pedal may feel heavier/harder to press. In this case, you'll also need to increase the size of your brake booster to compensate for the larger master cylinder, however this is not required.
I see you've got two trucks listed in your sig. Take note that the first gen cab positions the steering shaft closer to the brake booster, so you will only be able to fit a 2nd gen booster in there. But on your 1988 2nd gen truck, you will be able to fit a 3rd gen booster as well (it will need to modified just barely for clearance). But again, you do not have to upgrade your booster, your brake pedal will just be harder to press is all.
