That sensor is needed.
It is the pressure differential switch, which is used to sense a pressure difference between the front and rear brakes (ie. fluid leak), and illuminates the "Brake" light on the instrument panel.

Dealer might be your only bet or junkyard. I did a quick search on www.autozone.com and www.napaonline.com and didn't get anything.

Here is a copy and paste from the parts manual. I don't remember what truck you got this is for 94-96 2wd. I'm sure its the same all years and 4wd also, but not sure about 4wheel abs.
VALVE ASSEMBLY ***
5200 8304 1 Pressure Limiting w/Stud, w/Two ABS Limiting Valves
5200 8303 1 Combination or Metering, w/Bracket
5200 7818 1 SCREW, Pressure Limit Valve Motor
