Yup, item #3 on this page : http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/0118.asp

LMC part number 32-5820 Gas Tank Strap Kit.

Same part number for the passenger's side as well. 32-5821 for a rear mounted tank.

Tank supports\straps are still available from GM. You might have to ask for straps for an 87, but they are all the same and do fit. They are expensive, almost $50 each but worth every penny. A little note here, it's easier to install them on the tanks first if you weld studs into the bolt holes first. Trying to get those danm straps around the tank and getting the strap nuts started is impossible.Jim
