A hudy or similar system is just something you have to buy eventually, I believe. I actually bought an rpm gauge way back, but it is actually pretty stupid and as accurate as my eyeball. It ends up being great having a hudy system, especially when setting all the trims and steering throw equal.
As I always say, go ahead and buy the best stuff, because you will end up with it sometime later anyway, only costing yourself money and agony. Ex: I bought 4 chargers before I finally bought a turbo 35.
The easiest way to measure toe w/o a gauge is to use calipers or a ruler as Boomer stated.
