You could run a wire from the + terminal of the coil to the battery + post for a little while to move the truck a short distance.
However, you have been warned of the consequences if it is kept hooked up too long.
I found this method elsewhere, without the info on burning out the coil, and was about to try it! I need to drive it ten miles to the mechanic so obviously this wouldn't be a good solution for me. I appreciate the warning!
