A rupture disk (disc) is a pressure relief device that reliefs pressure when the pressure inside the protected equipment exceeds the set pressure. A fusible plug reliefs pressure when the plug is weakened due to high temperature.

Glow plugs don't necessarily have a fuse. They do have fusible links though. That is a wire with a smaller gauge wire in line that will burn should a short occur.

Replacing a fusible link on a 77 dodge 360 van does the part that's in the plug just pull out?

If the fusible link itself comes apart, it's faulty and needs replacing, preferably with a new fusible link of the same size. Fusible links are a kind of permanent fuse, so it needs to be there and it needs to be the right one. If a new one cannot be obtained from an auto parts store, a Dodge dealer should have it. Install the new one as per its directions.
