Thats a bummer. If you don't have the tools, a lot of the auto parts stores have the ball joint tool kits you can buy and return after the job it done. You pay full price, but long as you bring it back not broken with all the pieces, they give you your money back as if it was a rental. I did this a while back with Advance Auto Parts when I replaced ball joints and springs in my 65 LB. The only thing I really needed it for was the lower ones since they were pressed in. I had to press them out and in. Having those tools made it not too bad of a job. Took about 6 hours, but I got it done and it rides pretty nice now. Good luck with it.

I would also not drive it if you don't have to until you get it fixed. Especially if its the lower ones. I've seen worn out lower ball joints fail and the spindle/knuckle pull the ball right through the socket in the lower a-arm and the corner of the truck dropping to the pavement..wasn't a pretty scene. I'd try to avoid that at all cost.
