Yep, done my balljoints in my '85 twice now with the Harbor Freight version of that kit. Works well

You can probably rent it for free at O'Reilly's, AutoZone, etc.

I have the OTC version and it works great. Also use it for U-Joints.

Not sure they have those in Finland...
Yeahhhh, didn't catch the Finland part.

I haven't had the best of luck with Vevor. I've ordered 3-5 items from them and 2 items have been missing major parts. They said they would ship the missing pieces but then they never do and give some money back and a coupon for 5-10% off. Shipping back for a full refund exceeds the cost of item so I've been stuck with half a truck ladder rack I was going to use for kayaks and also a roof rack missing all the hardware.

Should this do the out and in job in a 1985 C10?
There is an adapter kit that goes with that and has about 18 different sizes of adapters, I had to get both kits to do my 96 Jeep GC. Hopefully the kit you selected will have the right size, but if not, the adapter set has everything. Mine required 2 different sizes to press them out and 2 different sizes to press them back in.

The tool was perfect. I wonder why no-one makes jacking press tool for separating lower control arm which is way harder. I made a one out of a bolt with tight thread, a nut and a socket.
