You can do one of two things:

Get the cone that was used on MOD trucks. It bolts between crank bolt and front pulley. If the crank is ANYWHERE near the center of the large hole in the front crossmember, the cone guides the crank right into place.

Second thing is what I did first (Before I found out about the cone).
Since I had to hank one of mine (that's short for hand-crank) everyday in winter for 7 years, I took a piece of 1/4"x2" flat stock about 6" long, drilled a 3/4" hole in the center, milled two slots for the crank dogs, and bolted it to my front crossmember, so that the crank was aligned with the hole in the bumper, and crank dog.
