3 x 12v outlets wiring help (simple)
My 1999 LT came with two accessory power outlets that were molded into the lowest panel for the dash, just to the right of the transmission hump. These supply 12V continuously. I modified one of them so that it would only be on if the Retained Accessory Power was also on. (If interested I could post my wiring diagram for this switched version.) I would think you might be able to find one of these panels and the wiring harness that could plug directly into your wiring harness.

I want to do this in my 01 Blazer. I want to keep the ashtray plug always hot for when I need something plugged in with the switch off, but I would like to move One or both sockets under the dash like you described to the switch. Most accessories are designed to work best when their power supply is switched. I use a GPS and a dash cam for work and I’m tired of unplugging them every single time. If you have pictures or w diagram, it’s something I can tackle.

Here are posts where I described how I made one of the accessory outlets switched by the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) circuit. I set it up so only one would be switched but my circuit could easily be modified so that both are switched. I believe I most of the supplies from Dell City electrical parts.
