is this what you're talking about? i just re-installed one of these, or an almost identical piece, on my car today. this one connects the front parking brake cable to the rear parking brake cable's equalizer yoke on my car. it looks to be about 2" long. the one on my car looks to have 5/16" x 24 threads, but were in pretty sad shape, could only screw it on about 3/8". or maybe i should say that the threaded stud on the rear end of the front parking brake cable is 5/16" x 24 thread (i think) but the clevis rod could be just about anything considering the extent to which the threads have been abused.
why the previous owner was using a Model A clevis rod on my '41 is a mystery. there was another item on there too between the end of the front cable and the yoke, that was decidedly home-grown. looked like someone had welded a couple of nuts on to the ends of an elongated piece of hollow hex stock. it was not..ahem...re-installed.
here's a pic of a new one, which i should probably get, assuming everything fits:
