Pull the bellhousing and use the input shaft? Or is that a bad idea?
If this is the old GMC truck, what RossD said, loose PP bolts, stab the trans in and bolt it to the bell, roll engine over and draw up PP bolts. You only really need the alignment tool for setups where half the bell isn't a bolted on shield.
i've eyeballed them before...

I was trying to do this by myself last night. Looks like I need another set of hands.

done this with someone to push on clutch pedal iirc. also used a wooden dowel
I've used winds of masking tape on an extension. Tends to work better than the plastic tools.
1 1/8" 10 spline? http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/dorman-help-clutch-alignment-tool-splines-10-outer-diameter-1-1-8-in.-14522/5703034-P#fragment-2
Alternatively, if you have one, a dial indicator and a magnet base could probably be used to very precisely center the disk.
Exactly, wraps of masking tape on a ratchet extension works superbly.
I'll give it a try. Minimal kids activities tonight, I should be able to get into the garage for a bit.
Never used a real clutch tool in my life. Wraps of electrical tape on a magic marker works spectacularly.
I'm not anywhere near you, but the last time that I did this, I used a transmission.
If you still need this after I get back from vacation at the end of this week let me know. I have one from when I swapped the auto to a manual in my K1500. I was just about to throw it away since I'll never use it again.

Yep. I will third this. Used this many times. Masking tape also works if you have the wide stuff.
Before I had a clutch alignment tool generation device (aka "lathe") I used sockets and lengths of metal or plastic tube and wraps of masking tape.
