lost power brakes

1984 F-150
While driving my truck the other day i heard a pop and then all of a sudden i lost my power brakes. Or so it seems, it feels like I have standard brakes. Would this mean that my power booster as completely quit or what else should I look for.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe the vacuum hose to the booster came off or has a hole.

Maybe the check valve is now toast.

It's that white thing the vacuum line goes to.

There is a test for it.
