Look behind the carburetor for a long thin horizontal crack in the casting that weeps antifreeze or has been repaired, it is a classic frozen block syndrome. Look for cracks near the four bolts where the steering bolster bolts to the block. Look at the final drive castings for cracks and welds, especially the left hand side which take most of the weight.

Look the rear tires over, they're expensive. Only cracks in the engine block would make me think twice about buying it.
