A very knowledgable friend of mine did this write up for setting toe. It's an S10, but applicable to any car really. Replace the angle aluminum with a board and you have your "toe boards". Basically you want to measure the distance in front of and behind the wheels across the car. Any difference will set your toe in or out.
