Is there a way you could park the truck facing something that could be
used as an anchor point for a rope such that the center point of the
rope would be at the front of the bed of the truck (nearest the cab),
and that rope could be the anchor point for a winch?  For example,
park the truck such that there's a tree ahead and to the left and
right of the front of the truck.  Tie a rope to one tree, extend it
back around the cab and then tie to the other tree.  Hook the winch to
the middle of the rope and pull.

Pretending we're using the Internet of the 90s (fixed width font
required).  O's represent the fixed objects, W is the winch.
