Use a script to write a script:

spool doit.sql

--
select 'truncate table ' || table_name || ';'
from user_tables;
--
spool off

Of course, you'll also want to set some things in sqlplus to supress
column headers, page breaks, etc. so that doit.sql is a clean,
executable sql script -- or just manually clean it up before executing
it.
