Trust me, you don't want to try and take your truck up that road to the summit. I came down it last September and the top and the bottom are good, but the upper middle, not so much. It gets very overgrown, looks like only ATV's have been using the road and there is a spring that runs into/across the road that would make it very difficult for a truck to get up, it is pretty dug out from other vehicles.
This is below the spring. I didn't get any pictures of the two trees I had to cut out of the way.
I didn't get any of the rough area, I was too busy getting through it.
Here is my write up.

Great write up, I am adding some other roads/places to my list.

I remember reading your post on this some months ago -- now I remember -- but I didn't remember that it was over Ophir summit.
So, thanks for the reminder. Now I don't feel like a wimp for turning back, now I feel wise!
I used the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest maps (Austin District map and Tonopah District map) for most of my navigation on this trip, and it/they made this route look OK. But then, maybe they don't concern themselves with roadside-vegetation hazards...or maybe the map is just wrong.
