Need yall's advice

Im looking at switching out all the bushings on my truck
74 chevy shortbed 350 vin V
I noticed that I need to replace my control arm bushings
upper and lower
Ive looked online to see if i could maybe just replace the bushings in the control arms but everything i keep finding says to:
burn out the rubbers with a torch
Take out the sleeve with a air chisel
and with a press put them back on

problem is i dont have any of those tools

so i was thinking just replace the whole control arm
Ill get the new control arm, bushings, rods, bump stop, ball joint

What do yall think about that?
I went online to advanced and autozone and they were saying saying 130 for each upper control arm i was like 275 thats alright i guess

But upon looking online i found them for 70 bucks shipped?
what do yall think buy them from online?
