Dangerous Brake Issue with Noise Toyota Tundra

2003 toyota tundra 3.4L 4x4 140k miles
I'll be honest, I thought I was going to die on the way home today.
My brakes pulsate extremely hard when coming to a stop, although they do it when braking at all speeds. There is also a very distinguished *CLUNK* which is more noticeable when braking at low speeds and is in rhythm with the speed of the vehicle (about once every rotation or so). When I am traveling at low speeds (25mph) with my head out the window it sounds as if the noise is from the rear wheel of the truck, although I cant be entirely sure. Slight grinding noise also heard at those speeds when coasting or accelerating.
I have drum brakes in the rear. I jacked up the rear, removed the tire and drum housing and there are no gouges or divets in the smooth surface of the drum and the pads are evenly worn and still thick enough to be plenty effective.
This truck is my only mode of transportation and I am scared to death to drive it. I swear it felt like I wasnt going to be able to stop every time I hit a red light.
My other thought is possibly a bad wheel bearing. I am relatively mechanically inclined but I have never fooled with drum brakes before.
Ideas? Help?
Thanks in advance!
