Is this an original booster? Or can I just replace it instead of rebuilding it.
Only picture I have right now.

Depends on the year, make, and model.

The remains of the original sticker would indicate that it's an original, never messed with booster.
It's always a good idea to have your booster rebuilt. Most of the time they will give you some warning when they are starting to fail, but every so often they don't. I had one fail on me with no warning what soever, and it can be a really bad situation when your stopping distance unexpectedly doubles on you. Thankfully, I was on a quiet back road when mine failed. If I had been coming up on stopped traffic, it could have been a disaster.

It will be rebuilt if it is the original to my 71 newport custom.
That's why I'm asking. If it's aftermarket, I can just buy another one. But if it's original I want to keep it original and will send it in to get it rebuilt.

I can't make out the numbers above 3106873 and it's snowing outside so I'm not getting to it tonight.
