Here's what I found. Apparently the first 2500 trucks in '54 used 1" wheel cylinders and then switched to the 7/8" cylinders that you have. This is from the March 57 Parts and Accessories Catalog.
Based on that, I think you'd be fine with 7/8" diameter wheel cylinders. Or with 1" cylinders if that's all you can find. There's a note saying that at the bottom that listing.
