I maybe wrong, but I think the 747, DC10's and L1011's all had extra abreast added after being inservice. I've flown in a 10 - abreast DC10-30 and that was brutal. EWR764 said above that the L1011 had a narrower fuselage than a DC10. I can only imagine what hell it must have been to fly trans pac on those.
