For certain types of files I want to set truncate-lines to true.  I
would like to be able to specify these files based on the file
extension.  While I know how to set the mode, but how would I go about
changing settings?

(defun my-set-truncate-lines ()
  "Set `truncate-lines' to t when visiting a file whose extension is
\"ext1\", \"ext2\", or \"ext3\"."
  (when (member (file-name-extension buffer-file-name)
                '("ext1" "ext2" "ext3"))
    (setq truncate-lines t))
  ;; return value for find-file-not-found-hooks:
  nil)

(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'my-set-truncate-lines)
(add-hook 'find-file-not-found-functions 'my-set-truncate-lines)
