The endlinks are identical - yes, it's that easy.

The struts sound just like any other strut I've ever seen. That big nut on top is what threads into the top of the strut tube, retaining the insert. I don't know what to say about the rod, except that bigger is often better. A 740T should have Boge Turbogas shocks/struts, but there's really no way to tell what's in there w/out removing them, unless you can spot a tiny brand stamp somewhere on the exposed parts.

Struts are an awfully labor intensive thing to be messing with used parts. But it's your call...
