To answer my own question, yes, they are pressed in. 
Stopped at dads and sand blasted one of the spring perches. Worked
nice, but took a long time. Air compressor couldnt keep up. If his
couldnt keep up, my compressor would be useless. Think I will be
making many trips to dads. I also discovered that a sandblaster doesnt
work well on parts that were undercoated. I'm going to soak all of the
front end parts in diesel fuel, that should take care of it.

My front end kit came in today from Kanter. Ball joints, tie rod ends,
and bushings, oh my.
