From what you are describing - I had a similar thing happen to me with my 87 diesel Suburban - but it was the front. NAPA had come out with a new material in their "Premium" brake pads. I installed them, drove the thing around and it was fine. But - found out next morning - the brakes would lock up whenever I first started driving it. Even if I tried to gently feather them - they'd almost put me through the windshield. It had me going nuts - but in this case - it was the new material being tried out in pads and shoes and it was recalled. I went to PartsAmerica and told me to give me the cheapest, crappiest pads they sold - I installed them - and it's been fine ever since.
It's funny you mentioned the collapesed brake-hoses. It happened on my 94 AWD Astrovan and really had me going for awhile. I didn't think it was possible for a rubber hose to get restricted internally - and lock up like that - but it did.
