make or buy an engine crank. they were available for the dodge. its nothing more than bent steel rod with a hole drilled in the end that accepts a small steel stub to grab the inner part of the bolt. i wouldnt reccomend using one on a truck to start it as broken body parts often are the result. using a socket or even a pipe wrench works, but if you are applying too much force, the end will shear and you will be sol. if its frozen take the right steps to free it before forcing it to turn.

good luck,
