This is supposed to be a '59, 1/2 ton chevy pickup but the online VIN decoders I've tried come up blank. The format doesn't match the guide in the LMC catalog. Can anyone decyper this or point me to a source that can do it. Thanks.

Where did the number come from? Paperwork? Door Post? Frame? I know the TF trucks drop the leading "3A" (series and model) from the frame stamp.
Still, to only have five digits at the end of your VIN eliminates a lot of things... like any Chevy truck VIN after 1953. Also don't think it is an engine serial. Throw in the random letter placement - well, it's beyond my feeble abilities.
