It seems the 12V plugs in the dash disconnect when the truck is off.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a power connection under the dash that could charge the battery or the best way to pass through into the engine bay?

The best way is to connect your solar charger to the battery plus and chassis ground. Make sure you fuse the plus connection near the battery.
