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.

Overview

If your column, as seen under the dash, is a simple tube, it is the standard kind. But if it is dimpled, it is a collapsible column.
