Ball joint socket size and where to purchase?

I have done it with a big pipe wrench. It worked fine.
I bet that at least 75% of all front end shops would press them in if you took them the control arms and new ball joints and just asked to have them "installed".

Hey! I would have had the same “chimp” moment, as @RustyRatRod would say, had I not joined this group and found healthy direction and education with all of you fine, young, experienced individuals… I’d be at my press right now scratchin my head with chimp thoughts and makin chimp noises haha…

the proto worked well for us (apologies to @4spdragtop for not getting the measurements sooner but looks like @toolmanmike and the others here saved the day!) my daughter and I got the control arms off tonight as well! Off for a spa day tomorrow with some sand blasting and paint! Thanks again everyone here for walking me through the process! Happy wrenching!
