If the cylinder will stroke the same distance, and displace at least as much fluid (or more) per pedal pump then it "might", but you need to be able to equalize front to back pressure in such a system to prevent wheel/axle lockup.

Before you commit to the route of swapping though, check the bore diameters of both brake cylinders as well as piston travel within the cylinder.

I suspect you will find the Chevy dual piston to have a slightly smaller piston, and shorter travel.

There is a small chance that you might find a larger size Dodge chassis cab that had been equipped with a dual piston (most likely a bus application) that would potentially fit up a bit better.
