Put the shifter in the "neutral" position, but also put on the parking brake, or hold the brake pedal down, so the car does not coast.

Very few trucks at that time had automatic transmission. So you can start a manual transmission by pushing it off. Turn on the ignition switch. Place the gear into 2nd gear. Depress the clutch. Push the truck to about 5 to 10 mph and release the clutch and the engine will start.
Perhaps you are not easing off on the accelerator when using the clutch. you would get this from a worn clutch .
There are three main types of gear shifters for vehicles: manual, automatic, and semi-automatic. Manual shifters require the driver to manually change gears using a clutch pedal and gear stick. Automatic shifters change gears automatically without the need for manual input. Semi-automatic shifters allow the driver to manually shift gears without a clutch pedal, using paddle shifters or buttons on the steering wheel.
Unless you are talking about a manual transmission, you do the same when you start it normally but you can also use the hand brake the same as the pedal brake. If you using a manual transmission you have to release the clutch just enough to hold the car in place when you take your foot off the brake pedal. This keeps the car from rolling backwards. Then you release the clutch while pressing on the accelerator. It takes practice.
Manual transmission is a stick shift. You have to manually change the gears using the shifter and the clutch.
put it in manual shift, manual clutch (shift key) using q key, put a powerful, rwd car (i.e burnside race) put it in 1st gear, hold clutch, floor the gas, let go of clutch
