Yes, taxiing around was the biggest problem. Space, the wings hung over everything.
All the 767-200's had the taxi speed gauge. Some of the early 767-300's had them also before Boeing realized the IRU groundspeed was good enough.
Delta flew the L1011 from LGA to DFW. That was before they removed the dykes at the runway ends. You always expected a big thump going off the end but somehow it worked.
