1st post, and really bad at it, I guess.
Just bought an 87 GMC that has less than 5,000 miles in the last 15 or 20 yrs.

IT STARTS! But that's all. Doing fluids filters, etc.I Dropped both tanks and this is what I'm looking at. They are baffled, and I'm fuel injected. What are my options for tanks? Obviously new pump, switch filter, etc

As stated before change the fuel filter and get an extra,keep it and the tools to change it in the glove box. I am assuming its still TBI. Dammit I got confused by the 87 that jumped in in the middle. Get at least 2 fuel filters clear plastic is fine for what you are going to do. Install one just before the pump ( not Ideal but easy) preferred make a temporary line install between the pump and carb put a fuel filter in that. Keep a spare filter and the tools to change it 8n the glove box,monitor your filter when it quits getting dirty put your OE. line back in. I've had cars that would gunk up the filter to where you had to pull over and change the filter. But they cleaned up eventually. I usually don't buy running vehicles,they normally are some kind of rescue.

Pump is in the tank, but I'll get some extra filters. Mostly asking whether to try to clean the tank or buy new.
Radiator shop wants $75 for each tank, and JEGs has tank, straps and fuel sending unit for $155. It does NOThave baffles, is that ok?
