I have a 1952 gmc 1/2t that I want to make into a chevy by replacing the hood, grille and panel in front of the radiator. Are the front fenders the same between a chevy and a gmc?

Front fenders are the same except for the built in parking lights on the GMC fenders. Why would you want to change? I used to like the Chevrolets over the GMC'S but i now like the GMC'S better and they are fewer out there.

Are the radiator supports different too, or do you not need to change that for what you want to do??

A GMC original radiator will have a fill neck on the side of the tank and a piece went over the top of the tank. If you are just interested in having Chev stuff showing, you could probably keep the GMC radiator.

Front crossmember on the frame is different to mount the GMC motor. Once you start making changes you may need to go deeper than expected.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
