There's about a 99.9% chance that it's the brake
booster. If the brake booster is bad, the pedal will
be very hard, but the brakes WILL still work -- it'll
just take a LOT of effort to engage them.
New boosters are available, and there are sources that
will rebuild them. See

and also

Good luck!
Elijah
who once discovered a bad booster in a '71 Imperial --
while exiting the Interstate at 70+ mph!
