Datsun 1200s used a steering column that is integral with the Steering Gearbox. Most have a simple tubular column, but GL models were fitted with a safer Collapsible Steering Column — as in all modern cars.

Safety Column (collapsible type)
All North America 1200s, GL models in Japan, and newer Australia utes, were fitted with the collapsible safety column.
