Adding to the long bolt idea, I would turn the end down to 5/16-18 making it into a shoulder bolt. This way you could torque the nut and washer down without restricting the clevis movement. If you do go with just the nut on the 3/8” rod/bolt, I would drill a hole straight thru the nut and rod/bolt to add a cotter pin.
