Driving at 30mph heard/felt boom from under Bronco. Stopped, looked underneath, nothing amiss, Bronco drove fine for 5 miles. After short stop, clanking sound, brake power assist gone, pulsing feel in brake pedal. No fluid leaks, rear hubs cool. Engine idles, runs well. Trans shifts as before. Parking brake more travel than before to engage. Broken brake parts? Wheel bearing?

It sounds like your rear brakes have grenaded. If that's not it could be the abs malfuntioning. ABS light should have come on.
