Possibilities.
1. The rear pads are worn down to the metal,

2. the caliper is seizing and heating up the hub, the grease is melting and the bearing is becoming worn.

3. the handbrake linkage is seized and the handbrake pads are worn to the metal.

4. The driveshaft U/J is worn or the Detroit coupling is out of lubricant on the drivreshaft.

5. something is coming into contact with the wheel.

If you can rule all of these things out then let me know I will ponder a little more.

Matt.
