This I have done and know it works,, I seen my dad do it with a 1941 Plymouth when I was a wee boy and so when I grew up I had to get my 56 Chevy truck started so I did it and ,,yes it worked for me too.

First of all this only works on standard shift transmission cars and trucks

The battery is dead,,you have no way to push start your car or truck and you are all alone with no jumper cables or battery charger starter..

Make sure the car or truck will not roll,,jack up the rear wheel on the drivers side a couple inches off the ground-put the transmission into a higher gear -turn the key on - and then be sure you don't have loose clothing and begin turning the wheel by hand until it crank starts the motor ,,shift it out of gear and there you have it ..after jacking it back down,,you have a running car that can take you to where ever you need to go to fix your stating problem..
I got my shirt caught by the hub cap clips and tore my shirt almost off.. I told this story some years ago on here ,, I have never met a anyone in person who has done this ..
