Master cylender or boster

Is there a way to till if your master cylinder or booster is faling.What I trying to say is how do know which it is?
I have a 77 F250 and the brake peddle while at a stop light will slowly go down with light pressure,But with hard pressure it will stay good.
I was ready to replace the booster.Then I read a post saying if there is no fluid leak and you lose peddle pressure it's the master cylinder.
You guys haven't steered me wrong yet,Just need a second appion.
Hope you understand what my question is. THANKS
Don
