Honestly, that vehicle looks like a prop from a future dystopian Sci-Fi film from the 1970s or 1980s.

I work with a lady who worked on that wire conduit while at ATK. (Might have been Hercules or Thiokol back in the day.) Showed her the pics a while back. "Wow. I never got to see it installed."

Those TELs look like something out of 1970s Sci-Fi like the mid-70s show "Ark II".
