Exclamation Opinions please Loosing brake Pressure

1994 F-250

So I was driving today and Heard a loud bang, while using the brakes, and then lost constant brake pressure.

I can pump the brakes and they get hard but if i hold the pedal it goes down

I looked at the calipers/drums and found 1 drum that was leaking so I replaced the wheel cylinder and shoes but after bleeding I still have the same symptoms.

I was hoping maybe someone may have had a similar issue, Im leaning towards the brake booster but not sure if theres a way to check it before I buy a new one.
