Default URGENT Chevy 3500 cuts off

I have a 1998 Chevy 3500 van and was cruising the interstate at 70 and all of the sudden I head a pop. Then motor cut off and the power steering and power brakes went out also. There were no fluids leaking and the temp was fine so does anybody know what the problem could be?

We need a little more info, like what motor. But off the top of my head, it sounds like ignition. Any electronic odors under the hood?

It is a 5.7 I believe and yes I definitely smelled the smoke.
