I'm the same as you. I have a terrible time with the bass clef anymore. So much easier to play chords. I use fake books mostly too. Ocassionally I get a song without chords and have to figure them out myself. That's when it's good to know bass clef.

Hey Frank, I've gone full circle. Used to read all that stuff years ago. But I've been playing with fake sheets for so long I can't read anything but treble clef now. I've got the left hand pretty much committed to memory for all the chord names on my fake sheets. But, I'm lost without those fake sheets. So, I make my own to get them the way I want them.
