Did they use a small rubber washer/gasket between roof and rack?

Back then they likely used some dum dum (sort of like plumber's putty).

Besides that dude ^^ ..... I don't think I've ever seen anyone able to pull-off making highwaters look semi-cool.
Ah, the old grammar school days.... "Waiting for a flood?"

I love those traction tires on the truck chassis. And cool that they left the front bumper and logo.

Oh, stop.
So what's the date on this pic? 59 or later bumpers, but semaphores so, 59-60? Pic taken in 1960? The young chick babe German girl is 22 years old? That means born in 1938 in Germany. Lucky to have survived, let alone still smiling and maybe getting married.
That makes her 79 years old today. Yes, somebody's grandma now.
Beautiful family picture taken on a happy day. We should all be so lucky.
